For this season, the system format remained the same as the previous season. The tournament ran from 19 July 2008 to 24 May 2009. The season was divided into two halves (Apertura and Clausura), each crowning one champion. C.D. Marathón and Club Deportivo Olimpia won one tournament each and qualified to the 2009–10 CONCACAF Champions League. Additionally, Real C.D. España also qualified with the best non-champion record as Belizean teams failed the CONCACAF stadium requirements.CONCACAF.com – Champions League qualifying simplified for Central America – 2 December 2008 2008–09 teams Honduras 400 Location of teams in 2008–09 season Honduras 14.86 -88.87 Deportes Savio left Honduras 14.47 -87.69 Hispano left Honduras 15.47 -88.00 Marathón bottom Honduras 14.09 -87.20 Motagua right Honduras 14.09 -87.20 Olimpia top Honduras 15.84 -87.93 Platense top Honduras 15.47 -88.00 Real España left Honduras 14.91 -88.23 Real Juventud right Honduras 15.78 -86.78 Victoria right Honduras 15.78 -86.78 Vida bottom A total of 10 teams competed in the tournament, including 9 sides from the 2007–08 season plus C.D. Real Juventud, promoted from the 2007–08 Liga de Ascenso.

C.D. Motagua also used Estadio Marcelo Tinoco due to field renovations. C.D. Olimpia also used Estadio Carlos Miranda due to field renovations. C.D. Platense also used Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano due to a dispute between the club and the city of Puerto Cortés. Apertura Scouting reports In the 2007–08 season, C.D. Platense suffered to avoid relegation in their last match. Their manager Nahúm Espinoza transformed the team. A key benchmark for Platense is midfielder Carlos Mejía. Platense has not fallen behind in signing new players for this tournament. New arrivals include Edilson Pereira, who played previously with Deportes Savio, Willian Veloso, who has shown in preseason matches to be a prominent goalscorer, and Evandro Ferreira, with his speed will try to unbalance the opposing defenses. To add to this is the experience of Walter López, who will be in charge of creating plays and give dynamism to the goalkeepers. Manager Javier Padilla has stated that the main objective of the team is to retain their position in the league. C.D Victoria kept the core of the squad from previous tournaments and reinforced it with players including José Pineda, Juan Cárcamo, and Carlos Discua. The club also signed the Uruguayan players Richard Pérez and Mauricio Webber and promoted forwards Erick Ayala and Víctor Maldonado from the reserve squad. Victoria finished sixth in the previous tournament despite the financial investment from the club's owner. Recently promoted C.D. Real Juventud have prepared for one goal: to maintain the position in the league. Since their establishment on 30 May 30 1965, the team never had the opportunity to be able to ascend and play in the Liga Nacional but they now find the opportunity to assemble their own history. Their manager Emilio Umanzor have stated in addition to staying in the league, the team will try to classify as one of the best four in the league and not playing a relegation battle like the majority of the sporting people and press have insisted. Real Juventud arrives with great expectations for the Apertura tournament. Real Juventud will fall upon the success of their Liga de Ascenso campaign and aim for decent position. A team with the squad and budget of Deportes Savio obviously won't compete for the title. They will be playing their home matches on an unfamiliar field: Estadio Roberto Martínez Ávila in Siguatepeque, since their stadium is being remodeled. A key loss for the team is the Brazilian Edilson Pereira who signed with Platense. On the other hand, arrivals include goalie Hugo Caballero, the midfielders Marco Mejía and Elmer Marín, and forward Édgar Núñez. Deportes Savio will seek to grab points early on to avoid suffering like the previous tournament and with that seek, maybe not the playoff rounds, but their permanency in the league. C.D.S. Vida will participate in the tournament with a modest team filled with prospects that intend to shine in the league. The directive administration will wage at their inferior categories that they intend to remain in the league. The challenges their manager Alberto Romero faces are difficult because he must erase the frustration from the fans and support the team's president character, who at the moment of saying things says it first and then thinks. The team president and manager have clashed before with Romero threatening to quit the team due to some unilateral decision but soon was resolved. Vida had a good preseason with many matches in the United States and Guatemala.

The match between Platense and Hispano from Round 18 was not played due to lack of interest. PLA 2 May 2009 On 2 May, Honduras was awarded a 3rd spot in the 2009–10 CONCACAF Champions League due to lack of adequate stadia in Belize. The 3rd spot would go to the short tournament runner-up with the highest overall season points total. Because of Real C.D. Espana's overall season point total of 68 being highest in the league, they clinch a spot in the 2009–10 CONCACAF Champions League. Already a runner-up from Apertura 2008, it is guaranteed that the Clausura 2009 runner-up would not have a higher overall season point total than Real Espana.
