Notes

1. ^ JK Eesti Põlevkivi Jõhvi won the promotion/relegation play-off against KSK Vigri Tallinn (0-2 and 0-0) and stayed in the Meistriliiga.
2. ^ Before the 1999 season, Tallinna Sadam and FC Levadia Maardu merged, with the first team playing as FC Levadia Maardu in the Meistriliiga 1999 and, the second team as FC Maardu in the Esiliiga 1999. Thanks to this, Lelle SK kept its place in the Meistriiliga for 1999.
