September 2024 12 CSKA 1948 v Levski Sofia Bistritsa
--:-- UTC+3 Stadium: Bistritsa
Note: Originally scheduled for mid-October, the game was moved forward to mid-September, as the BFU swapped matchdays 8 and 12 in relation to the stadium issue with the Eternal derby, which respectively was pushed back from mid-September to mid-October.[22]
September 2024 9 Slavia Sofia v Levski Sofia Sofia

--:-- UTC+3 Stadium: Hristo Botev
October 2024 8 Levski Sofia v CSKA Sofia Sofia
--:-- UTC+3 Stadium: Vasil Levski National Stadium
Note: The game was originally scheduled for mid-September at the Vasil Levski National Stadium. Due to the stadium's unavailability at that time, initially, the BFU moved the game to Levski's home venue, the Georgi Asparuhov Stadium, to be played without the presence of away fans.[23] However, following CSKA's appeal, the BFU made the final decision to swap matchdays 8 and 12 in order to allow the game to be played at the national stadium with both sets of fans present, and therefore it was pushed back to mid-October.[22]
