The 1923–24 season was '''Blackpool F.C.''''s 23rd season (twentieth consecutive) in the Football League. They competed in the 22-team Division Two, then the second tier of English football, finishing fourth.
Major Frank Buckley became the club's new manager prior to the start of the season, succeeding Bill Norman.
The team first began wearing tangerine for this season, after a recommendation from referee Albert Hargreaves, who officiated a Holland-Belgium international match and was impressed by the Dutchmen's colours. For the 2023–24 season, Blackpool wore a specially designed shirt to mark their centenary in tangerine.
Harry Bedford was the club's top scorer for the third consecutive season, with 33 goals in all competitions (32 in the league and one in the FA Cup).
Bert Tulloch retired this season, after ten years of service for Blackpool, his only professional club.
