The 2024 Belarusian Premier League (also written as Belarusbank Vyšejšaja Liha for sponsorship reasons[2] [3]) is the 34th season of top-tier football in Belarus.

Dinamo Minsk successfully defended their title, winning for the second time in a row.[4]

Teams

The league consisted of sixteen teams; the top thirteen teams from the previous season, and three teams promoted from the 2023 Belarusian First League. Dinamo Minsk entered the season as defending champions.

Arsenal Dzerzhinsk and Dnepr Mogilev were promoted as champions and runners-up of the 2023 First League (replacing the bottom-placed Premier League team Belshina Bobruisk). Third-placed First League team Vitebsk defeated the second-bottom Premier League team Energetik-BGU Minsk in the 2023 Belarusian Premier League play-off, taking their place in the league.
