editNotes
edit- ^ a b c d e f g h Due to the crowd disturbances in the playoff game against CSKA 1948 last season, CSKA has been penalised to play under closed doors for 3 home games with additional ban to not have their supporters for 2 away games. Further 2 home games will be played under partial closure, where the club will not allow fans in the CSKA ultras sector.[2]
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n From the spring of 2024 CSKA plays their home games at Natsionalen stadion Vasil Levski, Sofia, instead of their regular stadium Stadion Balgarska Armia, Sofia, which is undergoing a major reconstruction.
- ^ Slavia was allowed to sell up to 200 tickets for the guest sector in line with competition regulations.[3] CSKA were allowed to let minors as spectators for free in the stadium.[4]
- ^ Septemvri plays their league home games at Natsionalen stadion Vasil Levski, Sofia, instead of their regular stadium Stadion Septemvri, Sofia, which does not meet the BFU requirements.
- ^ Krumovgrad plays their league home games at Sporten kompleks Nikola Shterev - Starika, Plovdiv, instead of their regular stadium Stadion Krumovgrad, Krumovgrad, which does not meet the BFU requirements.
