The 2024 Besta deild karla is the 113th season of top-flight Icelandic Football. It is the third season following the league's rebrand as Besta deild karla.[1]

Teams

The league consisted of twelve teams; the top ten teams from the previous season, and two teams promoted from the 1. deild karla. The promoted teams were 2023 1. deild karla champions ÍA (promoted after a single season absence), and play-off winners Vestri (promoted for the first time in their history). They replaced the 2023 Besta deild karla bottom two teams, ÍBV and Keflavík. Víkingur Reykjavík entered the season as defending champions after winning their seventh title during the previous season.[2]
