Background

The 2024 season would be the 52nd edition of the Liga de Elite. Lam Pak were the most successful team in the league's history with nine titles but they had not won the league since 2009 and withdrew in 2014 for financial reasons. [1] [2]

In the previous season, Toi Seng were relegated to the 2024 2ª Divisão de Macau and CFB Macau no longer competed in the league as they had withdrawn or were excluded. Gala and the University of Macau were promoted from the 2023 2ª Divisão de Macau as champions and runners-up respectively to replace them. [3]

Benfica de Macau had won the league five times before, most recently in 2018. [1]

Format

The regular season consisted of a single round robin among the 10 teams. After every team had played every other team once, the league would split in half into a top five and a bottom five. The two sections would then play a double round robin among the teams in their section to decide the league winners and the relegation places. The teams finishing in ninth and 10th would be relegated to 2ª Divisão de Macau. [4]

The season began on 22 February 2024 and ended on 3 August 2024. [5]
