A deadlock in the adoption of a new constitution amongst Botswana Football League (BFL) members has caused a delay in the start of the 2023-2024 season which is now expected to kick off in October.

The new season was supposed to kick off on the weekend of September 16 but the BFL General Assembly decided to push the start dates to the weekend of October 7.
