NB: after the season, Universitate and Lokomotive withdrew from the
    Virsliga 1998, and FK Rezekne retained its first division status.

Notes:
 
1. Competitions in Virsliga will proceed in one stage with
   teams playing 3 times each against other (24 rounds
   in total). The bottom club will be relegated to the
   Pirma liga (second level).
2. Originally, Jurnieks (Riga) were to play in the Virsliga
   instead of Starts (Broceni) due to the special inter-club
   agreement signed between these two clubs.  However, like
   Starts, Jurnieks could not fulfill all requirements that
   the LFF imposes on Virsliga clubs, and therefore both will
   play in the Pirma liga in 1997.
3. FK Ventspils plays instead of Vecriga (Riga) due to
   Vecriga's refusal. FK Ventspils is a merger of Venta
   and Nafta, which played in Pirma liga last year.
4. FK Rezekne is a merger club of Vairogs and Kolons, which
   played in Virsliga and Pirma liga, respectively, last year.
5. Baltika/Metalurgs is a new name for Baltika.
6. Baltika/Metalurgs from Liepaja is called Metalurgs starting July 1.
