The 2023–24 season was Tottenham Hotspur's 32nd consecutive season in the Premier League, 46th consecutive season in the top flight of the English football league system, and 142nd season in existence. In addition to the domestic league, they participated in that season's editions of the FA Cup and EFL Cup.

For the first time since the 2009–10 season, Tottenham did not compete in any European competition, due to an eighth-place finish in the 2022–23 Premier League. It was also the first season since 2008–09 not to feature the club's all-time leading goalscorer Harry Kane, who departed to join German champions Bayern Munich, bidding farewell to Spurs after fourteen years at the club.

On 6 June 2023, Tottenham announced that Ange Postecoglou would become the new head coach on a four-year contract.

On 12 August, South Korea's Son Heung-min was named the club's new captain, having been appointed in place of Hugo Lloris.

Newly-appointed Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou became the first Australian to manage in the Premier League.

The start of the season saw the arrival of Australian manager Ange Postecoglou and the exit of several long-serving players, including Harry Kane, who had been a constant presence for Tottenham. Other players who exited the club included Lucas Moura, who had seen out his contract and Harry Winks, who had been at the club since 2014. Davinson Sánchez, who had had a difficult time at Spurs, was sold to Turkish club Galatasaray. Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro who had arrived on loan in the previous season signed permanent papers at the start of the 2023–24 season.

Tottenham started the season away to Brentford, where the game finished in a 2–2 draw. The following week saw a home game against Manchester United, which Spurs won 2–0. The unbeaten start to the season continued with an away win at Bournemouth; however, in the League Cup Tottenham were drawn against Fulham. This was another away day that ended in a 1–1 draw at full time and needed penalties to decide the tie. Son Heung-min and Kulusevski converted their penalties, however Davinson Sánchez's penalty was saved by Marek Rodák. Fulham scored all five of theirs to knock Tottenham out of the competition. This also was Davinson Sánchez's final game for the club, as a little over a week later he was sold to Galatasaray.

In the league Tottenham were unbeaten in their first ten games and sitting in first place right up to the beginning of November. On 6 November, Spurs played at home against Chelsea: Tottenham started the game well with a goal from Dejan Kulusevski in the sixth minute. Eight minutes later, Son had a goal controversially disallowed for a negligible offside. However, in the 33rd minute Cristian Romero was sent off for a foul despite clearly winning the ball, something which many other players were not sent off for later in the season. This allowed Chelsea to get back into the game at 1–1. In first-half injury time Reece James escaped a red card for an elbow to the face of Destiny Udogie, which would have leveled the teams at 10 players each. The game stayed even for a period of time, until Tottenham lost Udogie to a second yellow in the 55th minute. Their two-player advantage allowed Chelsea to overcome Tottenham, resulting in Nicolas Jackson claiming a second-half hat trick, with the final result a 4–1 loss for Spurs.

To prepare for the upcoming season, Tottenham played a series of friendlies around Asia and Australia for the Asia-Pacific Tour. This saw newly appointed head coach Ange Postecoglou return to his home country. The club first met fellow English side West Ham United in Australia on 18 July 2023. They then travelled to Thailand to play Leicester City on 23 July 2023, which was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. To conclude the tour, Tottenham were supposed to visit Singapore to play Italian club Roma on 26 July 2023. However, the match was cancelled due to logistical reasons, and so Tottenham played local club Lion City Sailors instead. On 28 June, Tottenham revealed a special match dedicated to the people of Ukraine, against Shakhtar Donetsk. On 19 March 2024, it was announced that Tottenham would travel to Australia and participate in a post-season friendly against Newcastle, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, on May 22.

The Premier League fixtures were announced on 15 June 2023.

As a Premier League club, Tottenham entered the FA Cup in the third round, and were drawn at home against fellow Premier League side Burnley. They were then drawn at home to Manchester City in the fourth round.

Tottenham entered the EFL Cup in the second round as one of the Premier League teams not participating in any European competitions, and were drawn away to Fulham.
