The 2023–24 season was VfB Stuttgart's 131st season in existence and fourth consecutive season in the Bundesliga. They also competed in the DFB-Pokal.

The club enjoyed a highly successful season under coach Sebastian Hoeneß, culminating in securing a UEFA Champions League spot for the first time since their last participation in 2009–10.^[1] In addition, five players were named in the Germany national team preliminary squad for the UEFA Euro 2024 including Alexander Nübel, Chris Führich, Maximilian Mittelstädt, Waldemar Anton and Deniz Undav, the highest number of players ever selected from the club in any major tournament.^[2] Despite spending most of the season in third place, the club secured second place on the final matchday, marking their best finish since winning the title in 2007.^[3]
