The runner-ups of the leagues are COSFA (Analamanga) and AS JET Mada (Itasy). 3FB Betsiboka (Betsiboka) and AJSM (Melaky) were the only teams that withdrew in the First phase.
Without the 2 teams that withdrew, 22 teams qualified to the tournament.
In the First phase, 24 teams would be separated in 4 groups of 6 teams.

3FB Betsiboka and AJSM withdrew. That means Group A and B would have 5 teams, while the remaining has 6. That also means that the league was played with 22 teams, 2 less teams than in the format.
The first and second team from each group in the First phase qualify to the Ligue des Champions first division. 8 teams participate in the division. All teams play against each other once, then the team with the most points becomes the champion of Madagascar.
The third, fourth and fiveth team from each group in the First phase qualify to the second division. 12 teams participate in the division. The 12 teams would be separated in 2 groups of 6 teams. In the groups, all teams played against each other once, then the first 2 teams on the group qualify to the Poule des As. In the Poule des As, all teams would play against each other twice (home and away), then the team with the most points becomes champions of the second division of Madagascar and gets promoted to the Ligue des Champions First Division in the 2019/20 season.
