Notes:
- ^ Teams play each other three times (33 matches), before the league is split into two groups (the top six and the bottom six).
- ^ As the winners of the 2023–24 Scottish Cup (Celtic or Rangers) will finish in the top three, the berth reserved for the cup winners (Europa League play-off round) will be taken by the third-placed team. The berths for the Europa League second qualifying round and the Conference League second qualifying round will be passed down to the fourth- and fifth-placed teams.
