2023–24 Cymru Premier


The 2023–24 Cymru Premier was the 32nd season of the Cymru Premier, the highest football league within Wales since its establishment in 1992.
The winners qualified for the 2024–25 Champions League first qualifying round. The runners-up, third-placed team, and [|play-off winners] qualified for the 2024–25 Conference League first qualifying round. The bottom two teams were relegated to either the 2024–25 Cymru North or the 2024–25 Cymru South.

Teams

The league consisted of twelve teams; the top ten teams from the previous season, and one team each promoted from the second-tier leagues, the Cymru North and Cymru South. The New Saints entered the season as defending champions.
The two promoted sides were Colwyn Bay and Barry Town United. Barry Town United were promoted back to the top tier on the first time of asking following their relegation in the 2021–22 season, while Colwyn Bay were promoted to the top tier of Welsh football for the first time since switching from the football league system in 2018–19.
The bottom two teams from the 2022–23 season were both relegated to the Cymru North for the 2023–24 season. Flint Town United's relegation was only confirmed on the final day of the previous season, where a dramatic victory for Aberystwyth Town, combined with Flint's defeat to Pontypridd United, saw the Silkmen drop into the relegation zone.
Haverfordwest County came close to being relegated following their failure to achieve a Tier One license at the first time of asking, but their appeal was successful, ensuring their stay in the league.
