The competition was suspended at a meeting of the División Profesional's Council on 5 September 2023, along with the 2023 Primera División tournament, after the Bolivian Football Federation president Fernando Costa denounced suspicions of match-fixing, bribery, illegal betting and alterations to VAR. However, the suspension was lifted per suggestion from Costa on 27 September after reforms to the referee commission were performed and an agreement with CONMEBOL for monitoring was reached, as well as to allow the FBF's Sports Disciplinary Court to finish the investigations on the matter.
Bolívar won the competition, defeating Jorge Wilstermann in the finals by a 3–1 aggregate score.
