The 2023 Faroe Islands Premier League was the 81st edition of top-tier football in the Faroe Islands, and the 18th under the current format.
The winners (KÍ) qualified for the Champions League first qualifying round.[1] The 2023 Faroe Islands Cup winners (Havnar Bóltfelag) qualified for the Conference League second qualifying round. The runners-up and fourth-placed team (Víkingur and B36 Tórshavn) qualified for the Conference League first qualifying round. The bottom two teams (AB Argir and TB Tvøroyri) were relegated to the 2024 1. deild.
KÍ started the league season with 16 straight wins, one of the best known season starts in European top division football, before losing 1-2 to Víkingur on 13 August.
ÍF won the 2022 1. deild title to earn promotion. Third-placed TB Tvøroyri were also promoted as runners-up Víkingur 2 were not eligible for promotion. They replaced the 2022 Faroe Islands Premier League bottom two teams, NSÍ Runavík and Skála.[2] [3]
KÍ entered the season as defending champions after winning their 20th Faroese title in the previous season.
