The bottom three teams (Aksu, Caspiy, and Okzhetpes) and Maktaaral (relegated due to failing licensing process for the 2024 season) were relegated to the 2024 Kazakhstan First Division.

They were replaced by Okzhetpes (promoted after a 2 seasons absence), Kaisar and Zhetysu (both clubs promoted after a single season absence) from the Kazakhstan First League.
