SD Itxako won every match but one to lift its fourth championship in a row with a 5 points advantage over runner-up BM Bera Bera,[2] which also qualified for the Champions League.[3] BM Sagunto, BM Alcobendas and CB Mar Alicante followed in European positions while newly promoted Gijón and Kukullaga were relegated as the two bottom teams.[4]

Financial strain led to major changes following the end of the season. 4-times champion CBF Elda asked to be relegated to the third tier on 18 June,[5] Itxako renounced to its place in the Champions League three days later,[6] and Mar Alicante also renounced to its European place on 9 July.[7] Two days later BM Murcia became the second team relegated for financial reasons.[8]
