Meistriliiga

Season 2024
Dates 1 March – 9 November 2024
← 2023 2025 →

The 2024 Meistriliiga, also known as A. Le Coq Premium Liiga due to sponsorship reasons, is the 34th season of the Meistriliiga, the top Estonian league for association football clubs since its establishment in 1992.

The winners qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League first qualifying round. The runners-up, third-placed team, and 2024–25 Estonian Cup winners (or fourth-placed team if the Estonian Cup winners finish in the top three of the Meistriliiga) qualify for the 2025–26 UEFA Conference League first qualifying round. The ninth-placed team qualify for the Meistriliiga play-off. The bottom-placed team are relegated to the 2025 Esiliiga.

Teams

The league consisted of ten teams; the top nine teams of the previous season, and one team promoted from the Esiliiga. Nõmme United were promoted as champions of the 2023 Esiliiga, replacing the bottom-placed 2023 Meistriliiga side Harju. Flora entered the season as defending champions.
