[3] Teams play each other three times (33 matches), before the league is split into two groups (the top six and the bottom six).

[table_note_res_ELPO0.15639916814696-4] As the winners of the 2023–24 Scottish Cup (Celtic or Rangers) will finish in the top three, the berth reserved for the cup winners (Europa League play-off round) will be taken by the third-placed team. The berths for the Europa League second qualifying round and the Conference League second qualifying round will be passed down to the fourth- and fifth-placed teams.

[table_hth_EDI0.17603085663916-10] On 25 January 2024, Edinburgh City were deducted 6 points, having failed to pay its players’ wages on time and defaulting its tax obligations to HMRC, as well as not engaging fully in the disciplinary process leading to further breaches of SPFL Rules.
