The 2023 Brunei Super League was the ninth season of the Brunei Super League, the top football league in Brunei since its establishment in 2012. The league began in March and concluded in November, contested by 16 teams. [1] [2]

Contents

On 15 September 2023, the league was announced to have a premature conclusion due to insufficient funds as announced by FABD in a press release. [3] The table on 17 November after all teams have played 16 matches became the final standing of the league. [4]

After being unbeaten in 16 games Kasuka FC became the champions of the league. [5]

Teams

For this season, the number of teams will be restored to 16. DPMM FC will not be participating due to their imminent re-entry into the Singapore Premier League. [6] Due to the withdrawals of representatives from the Belait and Tutong districts, AKSE Bersatu and Lun Bawang FC automatically became the two promoted sides. [7]
