The 2007–08 Montenegrin First League was the second season of the top-tier football in Montenegro, since the vote for Montenegrin independence split the Montenegrin FA from Serbia's. FK Jedinstvo and FK Berane were relegated to the second league, giving FK Bokelj their first time in the top league of Montenegro. The 2007-08 season began on 11 August 2007 and ended on 24 May 2008.
FK Berane were directly relegated to the Montenegrin Second League after finishing 12th in last year's standings. Their place was taken by Second League champions Lovćen Cetinje.
10th placed Dečić Tuzi and 11th placed Jedinstvo Bijelo Polje had to compete in two-legged relegation play-offs. Jedinstvo were relegated by losing 4–2 on aggregate against the 2nd placed team from Second League, Bokelj Kotor. On the other hand, Dečić saved their place in Montenegrin top league by beating cross-town rivals Ibar Rožaje, who had finished in 3rd place in the Second League, with a 3–2 on aggregate.
