The 2023–24 Cuban Elite League was the second edition of the tournament. After only one season, the format of the tournament was reorganized completely; this year, the league would include the top six regular-season teams from the 2023 Cuban National Series, rather than the amalgamation of National Series teams that was seen in the 2022–23 campaign.[1][2]
The tournament began on November 7, and the regular season finished on December 25; the final game of the playoffs was played on January 23 with Matanzas beating Artemisa.
Participating teams
[edit]Six clubs competed in the 2023–24 season after qualifying from the Cuban National Series.[3]
