The 2023–24 Russian First League is the 32nd season of Russia's second-tier football league since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The season began in July 2023, and had a 3-month winter break between game weeks 20 and 21 (November to March). In collaboration with VKontakte, a draft was held in June, giving players a chance to prove themselves to the clubs and to create an alternative culture of player selection.[1]
