The league was contested in two regional groups (West Division and East Division), with 18 clubs each, two more than in the previous season.

A total of eighteen teams contested the league, including thirteen sides from the 1964–65 season and five sides promoted from the third tier leagues played in the 1964–65 season. The league was contested in a double round robin format, with each club playing every other club twice, for a total of 34 rounds. Two points were awarded for wins and one point for draws.

There were no teams relegated from the 1964–65 Yugoslav First League. The five clubs promoted to the second level were Bosna, Leotar, Segesta, Slovan and Zadar. At the winter break, Slovan abandoned competition due to lack of funding.
