The 2024–25 Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina (known as the Wwin League for sponsorship reasons) will be the 25th season of the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the highest football league of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The season will begin on 3 August 2024 and end on 25 May 2025, with a winter break between mid December 2024 and mid February 2025.
Four clubs will be relegated at the end of the season as the number of clubs was reduced to 10 starting from the 2025–26 season. This will be the last season played with 12 teams.[1] The season is also going to introduce the video assistant referee (VAR) review system.[2]
