The 2023–24 Cuban Elite League was the second edition of the tournament. After only one season, the format of the tournament was reorganized completely; this year, the league would include the top six regular-season teams from the 2023 Cuban National Series, rather than the amalgamation of National Series teams that was seen in the 2022–23 campaign.
The tournament began on November 7, and the regular season finished on December 25; the final game of the playoffs was played on January 23 with Matanzas beating Artemisa.
Participating teams Six clubs competed in the 2023–24 season after qualifying from the Cuban National Series.
