Winning the SWHL-B championship, the HC Fribourg-Gottéron Ladies is promoted to SWHL-A
The major Swiss hockey clubs are showing more and more interest in women's hockey. The EV Zug created a women's team with an impressive budget of 1.2 million CHF. The League authorizes them to take part in the SWHL-B championship. In response, SC Bern took EV Bomo Thun under its wing. SC Bern Frauen will now play at the PostFinance Arena. The HC Davos also agrees with the HC Thurgau to move its team from the Indians to the Eisstadion Davos, under the name HC Davos Ladies.

==Regular season==
The regular season started on 16 September 2023 and ended on 25 February 2024. The regular season is played at the national level in the form of a round of five matches, that is to say that each of the eight teams plays 28 matches. The first four in the ranking in the regular season compete in the playoffs (best of 5), the four last team compete in a ranking round. The Swiss SWHL-B champions will be promoted directly to the WL for the 2024/25 season. The SWHL-B runner-up plays a league qualifier against the loser of the WL ranking round. If the SWHL-B champion does not wish to be promoted, the runner-up will be promoted directly and no WL member will be relegated. If SWHL-B champions and runners-up do not wish to be promoted, there will be no promotion or relegation from WL to SWHL-B.

The Ladies Team Lugano, after having recorded numerous departures at the start of this season, has experienced a lot of difficulty during this season. Finishing last in the championship with a very limited contingent, the leaders preferred to give up playing in the relegation round and accepted being relegated to the green carpet. The champion of the SWHL-B, the EV Zug Women therefore advances to the SWHL-A.
