The 2008 Armenian Premier League season (known as STAR National Football League due to sponsorship reasons) was the seventeenth since its establishment. It started on 6 April 2008, while the last matches were played on 15 November 2008. FC Pyunik were the defending champions. The Yerevan side won their seventh consecutive league title the previous season, their tenth overall. FC Dinamo Yerevan were regarded as the team to get promoted, but they withdrew from the Premier League, and were disbanded.

On 30 April 2008, Football Federation of Armenia signed a contract with STAR retailing company to become the sponsor of the 17th Armenian Premier League season, the STAR National Football League.

The league was played in four stages. The teams played each other four times, twice at home and twice away. The champions was the team with the most points after round 28. However, but Pyunik and Ararat Yerevan were tied on points at the end of the season, so they had to play tie breaker game for the championship.
