Two best teams of 2023 Belarusian First League (Arsenal Dzerzhinsk and Dnepr Mogilev) were promoted to Belarusian Premier League. They were replaced by two last-placed team of 2023 Belarusian Premier League (Belshina Bobruisk). Third-placed club Vitebsk won the promotion/relegation play-off against Energetik-BGU Minsk and got promoted as well, while Energetik-BGU relegated to the First League to replace Vitebsk.

Last placed team of the last season (Osipovichi) relegated to the Second League.

Three clubs were supposed to get promoted from the Second League. 2023 Second League champions Partizan Soligorsk and runners-up Krumkachy Minsk did not apply for the First League license due to insufficient financing. Third-placed club Football Center Brest initially confirmed their intentions to get promoted, but in February withdrew their application due to apparent conflict between club's owner and ABFF. For the first time in history of the First League, no club got promoted from the Second League.[1]
