The 2023–24 Liga I (also known as SuperLiga for sponsorship reasons) is the 106th season of the Liga I, the top Romanian professional league for association football clubs. The season started on 14 July 2023 and concluded on 27 May 2024. It is the ninth season to take place since the play-off/play-out format has been introduced.

Politehnica Iași, Oțelul Galați, and Dinamo București joined as the promoted clubs from the 2022–23 Liga II. Following the 2–1 home defeat of title contenders and defending champions Farul Constanța on 27 April, FCSB officially secured their first Liga I title in nine years;[1] it was also the club's first title since changing its name from FC Steaua București in early 2017.

European play-offs

[edit]

In the semi-final the 7th- and 8th-placed teams of the Liga I typically play a one-legged match on the ground of the better placed team (7th place). In the final, the winner of the play-out semi-final will play the highest ranked team of the play-off tournament, that did not already qualify for European competitions. The winner of the final will enter the second qualifying round of the 2024–25 UEFA Conference League. Oțelul Galați and Universitatea Cluj are qualified to this round because the other teams in the previous round don't have the European license to take part to any European competition.[22]
