Kyneton District was last year's League 2 women's champions, earning the right to step up into the top division.
With Kyneton District promoted and no teams from last year relegated, the women's League 1 competition increases from seven teams to eight.
Kyneton District will host Strathdale at Barkly Square from 6pm on April 20 in its women's season-opener.
There will also be eight teams in the Men's League 1 competition.
Strathfieldsaye Colts United has been relegated following last year's winless season, while Shepparton has been promoted after winning the 2023 Men's League 2 championship.
The 2024 season begins on the weekend of April 20-21.
Defending men's champion Tatura begins the defence of its title against Shepparton South at Shepparton's McEwen Reserve.
As well as the championship, Tatura also completed the grand final double last year by beating Shepparton South 4-2.
And defending women's champions Strathfieldsaye Colts United begins its season at home against Eaglehawk.
Strathfieldsaye Colts United women were undefeated last season, which culminated in a 4-1 grand final win over Shepparton United.
"At this stage with still a couple of months to go it's all tracking along positively in terms of what clubs are telling us with their numbers," Bendigo Amateur Soccer League president Aaron Shooter said this week.
"We've had a handful of clubs that have been part of the Dockerty Cup, which is the precursor to the Australia Cup, which gives us a good indication that they are well set up heading into the season."
The Dockerty Cup features 134 clubs from across Victoria, with the first seven rounds of the competition also serving as preliminary rounds for the Australia Cup.
As well as Bendigo City FC, the knockout Dockerty Cup, which got under way earlier this month, also features BASL men's teams Shepparton United, Shepparton, Spring Gully United, Shepparton South, Golden City and Epsom.
Round two of the Dockerty Cup will be played this weekend.
Round two matches include:
Shepparton v Old Ivanhoe.
Bendigo City FC v Glen Waverley.
Shepparton United v Melton Phoenix.
Epsom v Heatherton United.
Spring Gully United v Western Eagles.
