2023–24 Liga 2 (Indonesia)

The 2023–24 Liga 2 (also known as the 2023–24 Pegadaian Liga 2 for sponsorship reasons) was the seventh season of the Liga 2 under its current name and the 14th season under its current league structure. PT Liga Indonesia Baru (LIB) was responsible for the operation the league. Plan to change Liga 2's operator was shelved for this season and will be implemented at the very least for the 2024–2025 season.

Because Liga 2's previous season along with 2022–23 Liga 3 were abandoned due to a combination of factors with the most notable among them was the Kanjuruhan Stadium disaster, participants of the league remained unchanged from last season. 28 teams, an increase of four teams from the 2021–22 Liga 2, who participated last season, remained in the league. The new season also marked the return of foreign players to the second division of Indonesian football.

The league format was announced on 16 August 2023. The season started on 10 September 2023.

Team changes
As the 2022–23 Liga 2 and 2022–23 Liga 3 were abandoned along with the relegation rule which was being scrapped from 2022–23 Liga 1, the league's teams remained unchanged. The following teams changed division after the 2021 season.

Name changes

 * AHHA PS Pati relocated to Bekasi and were renamed to Bekasi Football Club. However, following a lawsuit by Bekasi FC's original rights holder, the club is subject to another name change. On 30 May 2022, during the 2022 PSSI Ordinary Congress, the club finally changed their name once again to Bekasi City.
 * Mataram Utama handed over their senior team to a group of investors, who subsequently rebranded the club as Nusantara United. The two clubs exist as separate entities, with Nusantara United taking over Mataram Utama's place in the Liga 2, while Mataram Utama redirected their focus towards youth development and their football academy. On 5 July 2022, Nusantara United, on an Instagram post unveiling their new logo, revealed that they are now based in Nusantara, the planned new capital of Indonesia.
 * Muba Babel United was acquired by Liga 3 side Persipal Palu. As a result, Persipal took over Muba Babel United's place in Liga 2 starting from the 2022–23 season and they will compete under name Persipal BU.
 * The license for Putra Delta Siduarjo was bought by owners of PT Mineral Trobos, David Glenn and Kenneth Jehezkiel, through PT Malut Maju Sejahtera and was renamed to Malut United. Malut stands for Maluku Utara, the home province of the club, as the club's new owners moved its base to Ternate, North Maluku.
 * Karo United changed its name to Sada Sumut. The word 'Sada' means 'one' in Batak Karo language and the word 'Sumut' is an acronym for the name of the province of Sumatra Utara or North Sumatra hence the name change was intended by the club in order to represent all of North Sumatra.
