The 2023–24 Liga 2 (Indonesia) (also known as the 2023–24 Pegadaian Liga 2 for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the seventh season of the Liga 2 under its current name and the 14th season under its current league structure. PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) are responsible for administrating the league. Plans to change Liga 2's operator were shelved for this season and will be postponed to at least the 2024–2025 season.[2][3]
As Liga 2's previous season and 2022–23 Liga 3 were abandoned due to a combination of factors with the most notable among them being the Kanjuruhan Stadium disaster,[4] participants of the league remain unchanged from last season, 28 teams (an increase of four teams from the 2021–22 Liga 2 season).[5][6] The new season also marked the return of foreign players to the second division of Indonesian football.[6]
The league format was announced on 16 August 2023.[7] The season started on 10 September 2023.[8]

Name changes
- AHHA PS Pati relocated to Bekasi and were renamed to Bekasi Football Club.[9][10] However, following a lawsuit by Bekasi FC's original rights holder, the club is subject to another name change. On 30 May 2022, during the 2022 PSSI Ordinary Congress, the club finally changed their name once again to Bekasi City.[9][11]
- Mataram Utama handed over their senior team to a group of investors, who subsequently rebranded the club as Nusantara United.[9][12] The two clubs exist as separate entities, with Nusantara United taking over Mataram Utama's place in the Liga 2, while Mataram Utama redirected their focus towards youth development and their football academy.[13] On 5 July 2022, Nusantara United, on an Instagram post unveiling their new logo, revealed that they are now based in Nusantara, the planned new capital of Indonesia.[14]
- Muba Babel United were acquired by Liga 3 side Persipal Palu. As a result, Persipal took over Muba Babel United's place in Liga 2 starting from the 2022–23 season and they will compete under name Persipal BU.[15][16][17]
- The license for Putra Delta Siduarjo were bought by owners of PT Mineral Trobos, David Glenn and Kenneth Jehezkiel, through PT Malut Maju Sejahtera and were renamed to Malut United. Malut stands for Maluku Utara, the home province of the club, as the club's new owners moved its base to Ternate, North Maluku.[18][19]
- Karo United changed its name to Sada Sumut. The word 'Sada' means 'one' in Batak Karo language and the word 'Sumut' is an acronym for the name of the province of Sumatra Utara or North Sumatra hence the name change was intended by the club in order to represent all of North Sumatra.[20][21]

Coaching changes
Notes:
- The situation was complicated. There was a dispute about the change over date of club operations from the previous owners to the new owners.[81] There were also problems over unpaid wages to both the coaching staff and the players for the 2022 season.[82] After the old ownership retook control of the club, they chose not to renew the contract for last year's coaching staff and instead looking for new coaching staffs.[83]
- Thalib and his assistant, Fachmi Amiruddin, were sacked due to the two months of the team's preparation before the league started were deemed unsatisfactory after an evaluation by Persiraja's management.[85]
- Persijap's management didn't technically choose a caretaker coach. Instead, the team chose the team's goalkeeping coach, Iman Suherman, to give instruction on the touchline while the team's captain, Qischil Gandrum Minny, led the team during training sessions until they could find Salahudin's replacement.[89]
