The 2023–24 Serbian SuperLiga (known as the Mozzart Bet SuperLiga for sponsorship reasons) is the 18th season of the Serbian SuperLiga, the top football league of Serbia. Red Star are the defending champions, having won their 9th SuperLiga and 34th domestic title in the previous season.
The season was initially scheduled to start on 22 July, but the start was deferred to 29 July 2023 due to a complaint made by Kolubara to CAS regarding points deduction from previous season that had led to their relegation.[1]
On May 1, 2024, Red Star Belgrade were crowned champions for the seventh consecutive season following their 2-1 victory over TSC. This was also Red Star's tenth title overall and 35th domestic title.
Summary
