# 1972–73 Montenegrin Republic League

The 1972–73 Montenegrin Republic League was the 28th season of Montenegrin Republic League. The season started in August 1972 and finished in June 1973.

## Season

* Zabjelo
* Grafičar

For the first time in competition history, on season 1972–73, in Montenegrin Republic League participated 14 teams. Among the teams which didn't play on previous season was Iskra (relegated from Yugoslav Second League) and five best teams from Regional leagues - Mogren, Petrovac, Dečić, Zeta and Jezero. After 26 weeks, the title won Iskra. Second-placed was Petrovac with one point less than title winner. But, due to changes in the system of Yugoslav Second League, which predicted two instead four groups from season 1973–74, no one was promoted to higher rank. Two lowest ranked teams - Mogren, Arsenal and Dečić were relegated to Regional leagues (fourth level).
