A total of sixteen teams are contesting the league, including fourteen sides from the previous season, and two promoted teams from the 2022/23 Skaraborgian Super Division.

Ardala GoIF and Vinninga AIF (relegated after one season and two seasons in the top flight respectively) were relegated at the end of the 2022/23 season after finishing at the bottom two places of the table, and were replaced by the 2022/23 Super Division champions Fagersanna IF (promoted after a four-season absence) and runners-up IFK Värsås (promoted after a ten-season absence). Vara SK won the play-off match against Nossebro IF and were therefore stayed in the Elite Division, whilst Nossebro IF stayed in the Super Division.
