The 2023–24 FIBA West Asia Super League, also known as the FIBA WASL Season 2, was the second season of the West Asia Super League (WASL), the premier basketball competition for Western Asia organised by the FIBA Asia. The season was initially scheduled to begin on 16 October, but was moved to 13 November following the Israel–Hamas war.[1][2]

Manama were the defending champions, having won the inaugural season, however, they were eliminated in the group phase of the final eight.

Al Riyadi won their first title after defeating Sagesse in the final, and qualified as champions for the 2024 Basketball Champions League Asia, along with third placed Shahrdari Gorgan who were the third placed team.[3]

Teams
