The 2023–24 Goa Professional League, also known as the CAM Goa Professional League for sponsorship reasons, was the 26th season of the Goa Professional League, the top football league in the Indian state of Goa since its establishment in 1996. Dempo SC were the defending champions, having won back-to-back titles.
Changes from last season This season, instead of fielding two U-20 players, GPL clubs will now feature two U-21 players who must collectively play a full 90 minutes.
Players accumulating five yellow cards will serve a one-match suspension, with subsequent yellow card counts leading to progressively reduced suspensions.
GPL matches will be spread across Goa. Alternative venues are being explored, with clubs encouraged to propose potential grounds for inspection and approval.
