Locations of the 1948-49 Montenegrin Republic League teams

In the fourth edition of Montenegrin First League played eight different teams.[2] For the first time, among participants were Iskra Danilovgrad, Tempo Bar and IKA Ivangrad, who won the qualifiers.[3]
Many irregularities occurred during the season. Most matches were not played, so at the end, all the teams didn't play an equal number of games. However, the season was officially registered and two best placed teams participated in the qualifiers for Yugoslav Second and Third League. Champions' title won Sutjeska, who participated in qualifiers for Yugoslav Second League. Second-placed Lovćen went to qualifiers for Yugoslav Third League.[4]
Arsenal and Tempo were relegated after the end of season and played in the qualifiers for Montenegrin Third League 1950.
