The 2024 Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League is the 43rd season of the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League, the top-tier football league in Zimbabwe.

Changes from 2023

[edit]

Black Rhinos, Triangle United, Sheasham, and Cranborne Bullets were all relegated from the 2023 Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League.

TelOne won the Central Region to make their returns to the top flight. Chegutu Pirates and Arenel Movers won the Northern and Southern region to make their first-ever appearance in top flight football.[1] In the Eastern Region, Tenax were initially crowned champions but Bikita Minerals were awarded three points after the last match of the season. Legal action ensued and ZIFA nullified Bikita's promotion, and the season started with only 17 teams as a result.[2]
