Tournament format and regulations

The 16 teams play a round-robin tournament whereby each team plays each one of the other teams twice, once at home and once away. Thus, a total of 240 matches will be played, with 30 matches will be played by each team.

The season will start on 21 July. Last games before the winter break will be played on 10 December, the spring part of the season will begin on 1 March and the last games will be played on 25 May.[4]

Promotion and relegation

For the purpose of determining First League positions for the following, the teams that will not pass 2024–25 RPL licensing or drop out of 2024–25 season for any other reason, or the second teams of RPL clubs, or the teams that finished lower than 6th place in First League standings will not be considered. For example, if the teams that finished 1st, 3rd and 4th in the First League standings fail licensing, the team that finished 2nd will be considered 1st-placed team, the team that finished 5th will be considered 2nd-placed team and the team that finished 6th will be considered 3rd-placed team. There will be no designated 4th-placed team in this scenario.

The teams that finish 15th and 16th will be relegated to the 2024–25 First League, while the top 2 in that league will be promoted to the Premier League for the 2024–25 season.

The 13th and 14th Premier League teams will play the 4th and 3rd 2023–24 First League teams respectively in two (home-and-away) playoff games, with penalty shootout in effect, if necessary (away goals rule for these games has been abolished beginning from this season), the winners will secure Premier League spots for the 2024–25 season. If both of the teams that finish RPL in 13th and 14th place fail licensing for the 2024–25 season or drop out for any other reason, play-offs will not be held, and 3rd and 4th First League teams will be promoted automatically. If one of the teams that place 13th and 14th in the Premier League fails licensing for 2024–25 season or drops out for other reasons, 3rd First League team will be promoted automatically and the 13th or 14th-placed team that passes licensing will play 4th First League team in playoffs, with the winners securing the Premier League spot. If only one First League team is eligible for the play-offs (as in the example scenario above), that team will play the 14th-placed RPL team in playoffs, with the winners securing the Premier League spot, and the 13th RPL team will remain in the league. If none of the First League teams are eligible for the play-offs, they will not be held and 13th and 14th-placed RPL teams will remain in the league. If any of the teams are unable to participate in the season after the play-offs have been concluded, or there are not enough teams that pass licensing to follow the above procedures, the replacement will be chosen by the Russian Football Union in consultation with RPL and FNL.[5]

Exclusion from the league

Any team can be excluded from the Premier League during the season for the following reasons: a) using counterfeit documents or providing inaccurate information to the league; b) not arriving to the game on more than one occasion; c) match fixing. Such a team is automatically relegated and is not replaced during the season, and only one additional team (that gains the least amount of points at the end of the season) is directly relegated. If the excluded team plays fewer than 15 games at the time of exclusion, all its results would be annulled and will not count for the standings. If the excluded team plays at least 15 games at the time of exclusion, all their remaining opponents are awarded a victory, without effect on their goal difference.[5]

Season events

Issues related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine

On 22 May 2023, FIFA extended their ruling that allows foreign players in Russia to unilaterally suspend their contracts with their clubs and sign with a club outside of Russia until 30 June 2024. However, this option would only be available to the players whose contract was already suspended under these regulations at the end of the 2022–23 season. The players who joined a Russian club after these regulations were originally introduced in March 2022, or players who played in Russia in the 2022–23 season (including those who originally suspended their contract in the 2021–22 season and then returned), would not be able to use this condition in the 2023–24 season.[6]
