The winners (Penrhiwceiber Rangers) were promoted to the 2024–25 Cymru South. The runners-up (Cefn Cribwr) qualified for the Ardal Southern play-off, losing and remaining in the league. The bottom three teams (Mumbles Rangers, Penydarren BGC, and Port Talbot Town) were relegated to Tier 4.

Teams

The league was made up of sixteen teams; ten teams remaining from the previous season, four teams promoted from Tier 4, and two teams relegated from the 2022–23 Cymru South.[1][2]

The teams promoted from Tier 4 were Cardiff Corinthians and Canton from the South Wales Alliance League Premier Division, and South Gower and Morriston Town from the West Wales Premier League (replacing the relegated Ardal SE teams of Garden Village, Cwmamman United, and Dinas Powys). The teams relegated from the Cymru South were Swansea University and Ynyshir Albions (replacing the promoted Ardal SW teams of Caerau (Ely) and Baglan Dragons)). Since no team was relegated to the Ardal SE from the 2022–23 Cymru South, Treharris Athletic Western were transferred from the Ardal SW.[3]
