The season featured an unusually long four-month winter break — from 28 October 1956 until 3 March 1957 — during which the Yugoslav Olympic national team, which entirely consisted of players from the Yugoslav First League, participated at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics and won the silver medal.
Teams
At the end of the previous season Željezničar and Proleter Osijek were relegated from top level. They were replaced by Lokomotiva and Vardar.
