League system Men Meistriliiga
Ten teams will compete in the league, nine sides from the 2018 season and 2018 Esiliiga champions Maardu Linnameeskond. Vaprus were relegated at the end of the 2018 season after finishing in the bottom of the table. Maardu Linnameeskond will be making their Meistriliiga debut having previously declined promotion after winning the 2017 Esiliiga. Kuressaare retained their Meistriliiga spot after winning a relegation playoff against Esiliiga runners-up Elva.
On the 27th of October it was mathematically confirmed that FC Flora regained the title after one season. In the second to last round it was confirmed that newcomer Maardu Linnameeskond will be relegated after its debut season and that Paide Linnameeskond, who spent most of the season in the top three, will finish fourth. During the final round, JK Tallinna Kalev managed to escape the relegation play-offs spot and therefore FC Kuressaare had to take that place. They competed against Esiliiga's second independent team Pärnu JK Vaprus and defeated them in a home-and-away play-off. The season's top goalscorer was Erik Sorga, while the best player and assister was Konstantin Vassiljev. Flora's manager Jürgen Henn was awarded the Albert Vollrat's trophy (best manager of the year).
Esiliiga
A total of 10 teams were contesting the league, including 6 sides from the 2018 season, one relegated from 2018 Meistriliiga and three promoted from the 2018 Esiliiga B. The 2017 Esiliiga and 2018 Esiliiga champions Maardu Linnameeskond got promoted to the highest tier for the first time. Nõmme Kalju FC U21 was the first team to suffer relegation after just returning to Esiliiga. Keila JK also immediately returned to Esiliiga B after losing the relegation play-offs to Kohtla-Järve JK Järve. JK Tallinna Kalev U21 narrowly avoided getting relegated in their debut season thanks to Tartu FC Santos' decision to start the new season in the fourth tier. The other two teams getting promoted were Tallinna JK Legion, who went almost unbeaten in their previous season, and Tartu JK Tammeka U21, who will be making their debut in Esiliiga.
Esiliiga B
Of the 10 participating teams 5 remained following the 2018 Esiliiga B. The 2018 champions Legion, runners-up Tammeka U21 and 3rd placed Järve were promoted to Esiliiga, while 9th and 10th placed Ajax and Flora U19 were relegated to II liiga. They are replaced by Viimsi JK, who returned after a year in the lower leagues, Põhja-Tallinna JK Volta and Tabasalu JK, who are making their debut in the top leagues. Volta and Viimsi both finished the last season on top of their leagues and Tabasalu defeated Ajax in the play-offs. The teams which were relegated from higher tiers were Nõmme Kalju FC U21 and Keila JK, who both got to play a season in Esiliiga. Keila lost in the play-offs against Järve.

In 2019 the competition did not have a "final match" between the divisions best clubs, because of the format change which put the tier's top six teams in the same group. This meant that the teams had the chance to play with all of their rival clubs and a separate final was not needed. The league was won by Nõmme Kalju III.

To Esiliiga B
The play-off between Esiliiga B's 8th team (Paide Linnameeskond U21) and first round winner (Sillamäe Kalev) was not held, because FCI Tallinn and JK Tallinna Kalev III (teams, who were supposed to be promoted) both turned down the possibility and so Esiliiga B's 8th and 9th (Võru Helios) were saved from relegation.
