The champions (Mārupe) and runners-up (Ogre United) were promoted to the 2024 Latvian First League. The third-placed team (Augšdaugavas) qualified for the Latvian First League play-off against the twelfth-placed team from the 2023 Latvian First League. The bottom three teams (Liepāja-2, Limbaži, and Staiceles Bebri) were relegated to the 2024 Latvian Third League.
Teams The league consisted of sixteen teams; ten remaining from the previous season, five promoted from the Latvian Third League, and one relegated from the Latvian First League.
The teams were originally split into two groups (East and West), and play each other twice (once at home and once away). The top four teams in each group qualify for Group A, while the bottom four teams in each group qualify for Group B.
