The 2024 Tajikistan Higher League (Tajik: 2024 Лигаи Олии Тоҷикистон), (Persian: لیگ عالی تاجیکستان ۲۰۲۴), also known as 1xBet Higher League due to sponsorship reasons,[1] is the 33rd season of the Tajikistan Higher League, Tajikistan's top division of association football.
On 5 March 2024, the Tajikistan Football Federation announced that the season would commence on 6 April. It was also announced that the league would consist of 12 teams, with each team playing each other twice over the course of the season. At the end of the season the bottom club will be relegated to the Tajikistan First League, whilst the 11th placed team will play a playoff game with the team that finishes second in the Tajikistan First League.[2]
On 22 May 2024, Istiklol's matches against Barkchi on 26 May and Panjshir on 1 June were postponed due to International call ups.[3]
