The 2023 El Metro season, is the 20th season of the second most important Uruguayan professional basketball league, since its establishment in 2003. It started on 8 June 2024 with four games of the regular season and ended on 14 October 2024 with the game 3 of the second promotion play-off.

Urunday Universitario was the champion, defeating Olimpia in three games, and returned to the Liga Uruguaya de Básquetbol after being relegated that same year.

Welcome achieved the second promotion by defeating Olimpia in the second promotion play-off by reversing the serie by 2–1. This generated controversy because Olimpia had won the semi-final against Welcome, so the play-off for the second promotion was eliminated in 2024 season.
