The 2023–24 Israeli Premier League, also known as Ligat ONE ZERO for sponsorship reasons, was the 25th season since the introduction of the Israeli Premier League in 1999 and the 82nd season of top-tier football in Israel.
Teams The league consisted of fourteen teams; twelve sides from the previous season and two promoted teams from the 2022–23 Liga Leumit (Maccabi Petah Tikva and Hapoel Petah Tikva). Maccabi Petah Tikva returned to the top flight after a single season, while Hapoel Petah Tikva returned after 9 seasons (for the first time since the 2014–15 season). They replaced the 2022–23 Israeli Premier League bottom two teams, Ironi Kiryat Shmona and Sektzia Ness Ziona.
