The 2023–24 Tanzanian Premier League (known as the NBC Premier League for sponsorship reasons) was the 59th season of the Tanzanian Premier League, the top-tier football league in Tanzania (mainland only), since its establishment in 1965. The season started on 15 August 2023 and ended on 28 May 2024.
The winners (Young Africans, their third consecutive title win and twenty-seventh overall) and runners-up (Azam) qualified for the Champions League. The third and fourth-placed teams (Simba and Coastal Union) qualified for the Confederation Cup. The thirteenth and fourteenth-placed teams (JKT Tanzania and Tabora United) qualified for the Tanzanian Premier League play-off, both winning and retaining their places in the league. The bottom two teams (Geita Gold and Mtibwa Sugar) were relegated to the 2024–25 Tanzanian Championship League.
The league consisted of 16 teams; the top 13 teams from the previous season, and three teams promoted from the Tanzanian Championship League. Young Africans entered the season as defending champions (for the second consecutive season), clinching their 26th Premier League title during the previous season.
JKT Tanzania and Tabora United were promoted as champions and runners-up of the 2022–23 Tanzanian Championship League, replacing the 2022–23 Tanzanian Premier League bottom two teams (Polisi Morogoro and Ruvu Shooting). Fourth-placed Championship side Mashujaa were also promoted after defeating fourteenth-placed Premier League side Mbeya City in the Tanzanian Premier League play-off to take their place in the league.
Each team plays each other twice (30 matches each), once at home and once away.
The 13th and 14th-placed teams (JKT Tanzania and Tabora United) qualified for the Tanzanian Premier League play-off, alongside the 3rd and 4th-placed teams from the 2023–24 Tanzanian Championship League (Mbeya Kwanza and Biashara United). The Championship teams faced each other over two legs; the Premier League teams then also faced each other over two legs, with the winners remaining in the Tanzanian Premier League and the losers competing against the Championship play-off winners for the final place in the following season's Tanzanian Premier League.
