The season was initially scheduled to start on 22 July, but the start was deferred to 29 July 2023 due to a complaint made by Kolubara to CAS regarding points deduction from previous season that had led to their relegation.^[1]

On 1 May 2024, Red Star Belgrade were crowned champions for the seventh consecutive season following their 2-1 victory over TSC. This was also Red Star's tenth title overall and 35th domestic title.

Summary

The format of the competition remained the same as the last season - each team plays each other twice in round-robin format after which top half play in Championship round and bottom half in Relegation round Play-offs. Last two teams from Relegation round will be relegated while teams finishing 13th and 14th will play Relegations play-off against teams who finished third and fourth in Serbian First League. One of the changes from the previous season was regarding to the status of foreign players. Teams can still have unlimited number of foreign players with a maximum of 4 fielded at any time. However, from this season on, players who hold citizenship of any of the European Union member states are no longer treated as a foreign players.^[3][4]

Teams

Sixteen teams compete in the league, with the top fourteen being from previous season and two teams promoted from Serbian First League. Promoted teams were IMT and Železničar, with the latter being promoted to the SuperLiga for the first time in their history. They replaced FK Mladost Novi Sad and Kolubara, who were relegated after one and two years respectively in top tier.
