The 2024 Kazakhstan Premier League is the 33rd season of the Kazakhstan Premier League, the highest football league competition in Kazakhstan.
The league consisted of thirteen teams; ten teams remaining from the previous season, and three teams promoted from the 2023 Kazakhstan First Division.
The three promoted teams were First Division champions Elimai (promoted after a nine season absence), runners-up Turan (promoted after a single season absence), and third-placed Zhenis (promoted for the first time in history if counting the new club founded in 2009 or promoted after a 15 season absence if counting the club who went bankrupt in 2009). They replaced the 2023 Kazakhstan Premier League bottom three teams; Okzhetpes (relegated after one season in the top flight), Caspiy (relegated after four seasons in top flight), and Aksu (relegated after two seasons in the top flight). Maktaaral were also relegated (after two seasons in the top flight) after being refused a Premier League license, reducing the number of teams to thirteen.[2]
