The 2023–24 Vegas Golden Knights season was the seventh season for the National Hockey League franchise that started playing in the 2017–18 season. The Golden Knights entered the season as the defending Stanley Cup champions.

During the season, Vegas started off hot, winning the first seven games, the most wins to start a season from a defending cup champion. The Golden Knights played in the 2024 Winter Classic, losing 3–0 to the Seattle Kraken at T-Mobile Park on January 1, 2024.^[2]

After a 7–0 win against the Colorado Avalanche on November 4, Vegas struggled throughout the rest of the season, stumbling from first in the Western Conference to a wild card spot. This included a 4–5–1 February slump, and a 2–8–1 record between February 12 and March 7. On April 12, the Golden Knights clinched a playoff berth for the sixth time in their first seven seasons, following a 7–2 win over the Minnesota Wild and a 5–2 loss by the St. Louis Blues to the Carolina Hurricanes.^[3] In the playoffs, the Golden Knights faced the Dallas Stars, losing in seven games in the first round; despite taking a 2–0 series lead, Dallas went on to win four of the last five games.^[4]
