Summary edit

At the conclusion of the 2023 season, the two finalists of the IWL shall be promoted to the Singapore Football League (SFL) Division Two for 2024 season.[2]

On 5 September 2023, Simei United filed a protest against an opponent for fielding an ineligible player to the Football Association of Singapore (FAS). The protests was eventually dismissed as it was filed after 48 hours from the match on 19 August 2023.[1]

Bedok South Avenue won the 2023 IWL title by beating Tengah FC 2–1 in the final on 2 October 2023 at Jalan Besar Stadium. As the top two teams in the league, both Bedok South Avenue SC and Tengah FC will be promoted to the FAS SFL 2 for 2024 season.[3]

2023 IWL runners-up Tengah FC bided to become the 10th Singapore Premier League club for the 2024/25 season.[4] The bid was unsuccessful.[5]

Competition Format edit

The IWL competition shall be played on a single round robin Group Stage basis, followed by a single leg Knockout Stage basis.[2]

Teams have been split into five groups of four for the single round-robin group stage before the winner of each group, together with the three best second-placed teams, will proceed to the single-legged knock-out stage.
