The 2023–24 Premier League of Eswatini was the 2023–24 season of the Premier League of Eswatini, the top-tier football league in Eswatini[1] It was won by Mbabane Swallows, who earned R1 million in prize money.[2][3]
From this season, the league runners up no longer qualified for the Confederation Cup, with the position instead going to the cup winners. Green Mamba finished second, also winning the cup, which qualified them to the 2024–25 CAF Confederation Cup. However, the club elected not to compete, citing the cost.[4]
