The 2024 Besta deild karla was the 113th season of top-flight Icelandic Football. It was the third season following the league's rebrand as Besta deild karla.[1]
The league consisted of twelve teams: the top ten teams from the previous season, and two teams promoted from the 1. deild karla. Víkingur Reykjavík entered the season as defending champions after winning their seventh title during the previous season.[2]
