The 2023–24 Iraqi Premier Division League is the 50th season of the Iraqi Premier Division League, the second tier of the Iraqi football league system since its establishment in 1974, and the first under its new name.

22 teams are split into two groups in the first round, where the top four teams in each group qualify for the second round, and the bottom two teams in each group are directly relegated to the Iraqi First Division League.
