The 2023–24 Turkish Women's Volleyball League, branded as 2023-2024 Vodafone Sultans League (2023-2024 Vodafone Sultanlar Ligi in Turkish) was the 41st edition of the top-level women's volleyball tournament of the Turkish Women's Volleyball League. In a repeat of the previous season, defending champions Fenerbahçe Opet defeated Eczacıbaşı Dynavit to take their 15th title, while VakıfBank took third place ahead of Türk Hava Yolları.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Format

Top 12 teams from 2022–23 Turkish Women's Volleyball League returned, with the addition of the top 2 teams from the second-tier league (2022-2023 KFC Kadınlar 1. Ligi). During the regular season, 14 teams competed in a double round-robin tournament with home-and-away fixtures. The bottom 2 teams were relegated to play in the second-tier league next season. Final rankings for the top 8 were determined with playoffs, with 5th-8th teams and the 1st-4th teams played in separate brackets. All playoff match-ups were played as best-off-three series, except for the championship series which was played best-off-five. The top three teams qualified for the 2024–25 CEV Women's Champions League, while the 4th place team qualified for the 2024–25 Women's CEV Cup, the 5th place team qualified for the 2024–25 CEV Women's Challenge Cup, and the 6th place team qualified for the 2024 Women's BVA Cup.[5]
