The 2024 Primera División season, officially Liga de Fútbol Profesional Venezolano or Liga FUTVE, was the 68th season of the Venezuelan Primera División, the top-flight football league in Venezuela, and the 43rd season since the start of the professional era. The season began on 2 February 2024, being pushed back from its original date of 19 January 2024 to avoid a clash with the 2024 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament held in Venezuela,^[1] and ended on 8 December 2024.

The defending champions Deportivo Táchira won a second league championship in a row and their eleventh overall after defeating Carabobo on kicks from the penalty mark in the season's grand final, following a 1–1 draw on aggregate.^[2]

Competition format

The 2024 season saw a return to the Apertura and Clausura format in the competition, which was used for the last time in 2019. Both the Apertura and Clausura tournaments featured a first stage in which the participating teams played each other on a single round-robin fashion, with the top eight teams advancing to a semi-final stage in which they were divided into two groups of four teams each in which the qualified teams played against the other rivals in their group twice. The winners of each group contested a single-match final, with the Apertura and Clausura winners facing each other in the season's grand final (Final Absoluta) to decide the league champions. In the finals of both short tournaments, the finalist with the better performance was entitled to host the match.

The season champions as well as the best-placed team in the aggregate table qualified for the group stage of the 2025 Copa Libertadores, while the season runners-up and the second best-placed team in the aggregate table qualified for the preliminary stages of that competition, with the former entering the second stage and the latter entering the first stage. The runners-up of both of the season's short tournaments as well as the next two best teams in the aggregate table that did not qualify for the Copa Libertadores qualified for the 2025 Copa Sudamericana.^[3]

Teams

15 teams were expected to compete in the 2024 season, subject to the fulfillment of club licensing requirements: the top 14 teams in the first stage of the 2023 season as well as the 2023 Segunda División champions Ureña.^[4] Ureña would replace Mineros de Guayana, relegated at the end of the previous season.

Prior to the start of the season, it was reported that Hermanos Colmenarez would change its name to Inter de Barinas,^[5] which was confirmed on 30 January 2024.^[6] It was also announced that Ureña had resigned from playing in the top tier due to economic problems and would sell their spot to third-placed side Marítimo de La Guaira.^[7] Although on 9 January 2024 the league announced the first matchday with Ureña receiving a bye,^[8] the club's final withdrawal from the competition was announced on 31 January 2024.^[9] As a result of this, the season was played by 14 clubs.
