The 2008–09 Danish 1st Division (known as the Viasat Divisionen due to sponsorship by Viasat) season marked the 13th season of the league operating as the second tier of Danish football and the 769th season overall under the 1st Division name. The league is governed by the Danish Football Association (DBU).
The division-champion and runner-up will be promoted to the 2009–10 Danish Superliga. The teams in the 14th, 15th and 16th places will be divided between 2nd Division East and West, based on location.
On 3 February, Køge Boldklub declared bankruptcy. As a result, they were docked three points and were suspended from the tournament. Furthermore, they will be relegated two levels in addition to the one they have clinched at the moment, making them participate in Sjællandsserien from the 2009–10 season.
On 14 February, however, it was announced that First Division clubs Køge Boldklub and Herfølge Boldklub intended to merge their first teams to form HB Køge, and on 14 March, the club was approved by the Danish FA.
