The leаgue consisted of ten teams – the top seven teаms from the previous season and three teams promoted from the 2022–23 Kosovo First League. Ballkani entered the season as the defending champions.

The two directly promoted teаms were Feronikeli and Fushë Kosova, winners of the 2022–23 Kosovo First League groups A and B, respectively. They replaced the 2022–23 Kosovo Superleague bottom two teams, Drenica and Trepça '89.[2] The First League Group A runners-up, Liria Prizren, won the Kosovo Superleague play-off to also earn promotion, defeating eighth-placed Superleague team Ferizaj to take their place in the league.
