- means that the championship did not finish.

[*] Levski-Spartak (Sofia) had won the league; however, the 
    title was awarded to Trakija (Plovdiv) (who had finished 
    third behind Levski-Spartak and CSKA) "due to behavior
    incompatible with the socialist morals" during the Cup
    Final between CSKA and Levski-Spartak.  Both CSKA and
    Levski-Spartak were dissolved (but re-emerged the next
    season as Sredets (for CSKA, later renamed CFKA Sredets)
    and Vitosha, respectively.  In 1990 Levski-Spartak (Sofia)
    were reinstated as champions (though meanwhile called
    Levski again).
