This year it was decided to have both season halves combined. The season started in the summer after the cup competition that preceded it and was also won by Dynamo Moscow.
The defending champion for this edition was FC Spartak Moscow. The season started somewhat late on July 23, 1937, with the game in Kyiv where the League newcomer Metallurg surprisingly defeated the local Dynamo 2:0. The conclusion of the season came on October 30, 1937, with the games in Tbilisi and Moscow's Sokolniki. That game on CSKA Stadium became a culminating as the Army team hold the defending champions to a draw that left Spartak without their title.
