Teams
On 23 April 2018, Croatian Football Federation announced that the first stage of licensing procedure for 2018–19 season was completed. For the 2018–19 Druga HNL, only six clubs outside of top level were issued a second level license: Dinamo Zagreb II, Gorica, Hajduk Split II, Lučko, Osijek II and Sesvete. In the second stage of licensing procedure clubs that were not licensed in the first round appealed the decision.[1]
The following teams have mathematically secured their place in the 2018–19 Druga HNL.
