The 2023–24 Super League Greece, also known as Stoiximan Super League for sponsorship reasons,[3] was the 88th season of the Super League Greece, the top Greek professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1959. The draw for the fixtures was announced on 17 July 2023.[4] AEK Athens were the defending champions.
On 5 December, the league referees announced a collective hiatus from refereeing indefinitely, citing the attacks at the home of the referee Andreas Gamaris and his family's store, as well as the threats made by ultras of Olympiacos at Anastasios Papapetrou and his family, following his controversial refereeing as "tipping points"; they called for better protection of the referees.[5] The abstinence eventually ended on 13 December.[6]
On 11 December, the government announced its decision to hold all Super League games behind closed doors for the next two months, i.e. until 12 February 2024, as a measure to combat fan violence.[7] [8] A package of new measures was decided after the serious injury and later death of a police officer that was hit by a naval flare during the incidents that took place outside the stadium, during the volleyball match between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos in Rentis.[9] The next day, after a motion of no confidence was submitted to the League's board of directors, Vangelis Marinakis resigned as president of the League. [10]
PAOK won the 4th title in their history on 19 May 2024, after defeating arch-rivals Aris 2–1, away from home in the last matchday of the play-offs, thus sealing the championship, the first since the 2018–19 season.[11]
Fourteen teams competed in the league – the top twelve teams from the previous season and two teams promoted from Super League 2. Panserraikos played in the Super League for the first time since the 2010–11 season. A.E. Kifisia played in the Super League for the first time in their history.
The championship was held in two phases, namely the regular season (phase 1) and the play-offs with the top 6 teams and play-outs round with the bottom 8 teams (phase 2). In the regular season 26 matches were played in 2 rounds of 13 match days each, where in each round all teams competed against all others based on a draw. After the end of the regular season the teams ranked 1 through 6 participated in the play-offs and the teams ranked 7 through 14 participated in the play-outs, keeping (both in the play-offs and in the play-outs) the total points that they won during the regular season.
The play-offs were held in ten game days, i.e. in two rounds of five games each where in each round all teams competed against all others, based on a draw. The champion was declared the team (of those that participated in the play-offs) that after the completion of the play-offs had the highest score (that is, it had accumulated the most points during the regular season and the play-offs combined). In the same way (sum of points in the regular season and in the play-offs) the other positions of the championship (2nd, 3rd etc.) was determined from which the teams that participated in the UEFA Competitions emerged.
The play-outs were held over seven game days i.e. one single round in which all teams competed against all others, based on a draw. The teams ranked 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th in the regular season competed in four home and three away games in the play-outs while the other teams competed in three home games and four away games in the play-outs, based on a draw. Positions 7 through 14 were determined by the total points the teams participating in the play-outs earned cumulatively during the regular season and the play-outs. The last two teams were relegated to Super League 2.

The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. To preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for round 13, but then postponed and played between rounds 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for round 16. Juridical decisions regarding a match are also added to the full round after which they were ruled.
The top six teams from the regular season will meet twice (10 matches per team) for places in the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League, 2024–25 UEFA Conference League, and potentially 2024–25 UEFA Europa League (depending on Greek Cup), as well as deciding the league champion.[12]
The bottom eight teams will meet once (seven matches per team) to avoid relegation. The two last placed teams will be relegated at the end of the season.
