Kataller Toyama was a new founded team in Toyama Prefecture, merged from Alo's Hokuriku and YKK AP. Five asterisk-marked (*) teams were the associate members of J.League; Tochigi, Toyama, Okayama, Tottori and Kitakyusyu. J.League required several conditions for them to become new official members. Three clubs cleared these tasks, one of them was the 4th rank or better in JFL, and the professional league recognized Tochigi, Toyama and Okayama as new participate clubs in its second division (J2) in 2009 season. Because of this result, JFL cancelled its relegation rule in this season. If no club will go to J.League in next season, the bottom and second-worst teams had to be relegated to regional leagues, and the 16th of rank attended the play-off to the 3rd club in the National Regional League Final Tournament (NRFT). In next season, JFL joined three clubs from regional league.

Kataller Toyama was a new founded team in Toyama Prefecture, merged from Alo's Hokuriku and YKK AP. Five asterisk-marked (*) teams were the associate members of J.League; Tochigi, Toyama, Okayama, Tottori and Kitakyusyu. J.League required several conditions for them to become new official members. Three clubs cleared these tasks, one of them was the 4th rank or better in JFL, and the professional league recognized Tochigi, Toyama and Okayama as new participate clubs in its second division (J2) in 2009 season. Because of this result, JFL cancelled its relegation rule in this season. If no club will go to J.League in next season, the bottom and second-worst teams had to be relegated to regional leagues, and the 16th of rank attended the play-off to the 3rd club in the National Regional League Final Tournament (NRFT).
