It is also the 24th season of the futsal championship in Malta, since the beginning of organized futsal in the country in 1999.
Format The 2023–24 Maltese Futsal League was contested in two stages. In the first phase, the league consisted of ten participants, each playing one another once in a single round-robin format.
