The 2023–24 season is Tottenham Hotspur's fifth season in the top flight of the English football league system and 39th season in existence. Along with competing in the WSL, the club will also contest two domestic cup competitions: the FA Cup and the League Cup.

Ahead of the new season, Robert Vilahamn was named head coach on 7 July 2023, departing BK Häcken FF who were top of the 2023 Damallsvenskan after 17 games.[1] Tottenham had ended the previous season under interim manager Vicky Jepson following the sacking of Rehanne Skinner in March 2023.[2]

On 15 September, Bethany England was named captain. Olga Ahtinen and Molly Bartrip were named vice-captains.[3]
