# 2023–24 Mezőkövesdi SE season

The 2023–24 season was Mezőkövesdi Sport Egyesület's 9th competitive season, 8th consecutive season in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I and 46th year in existence as a football club. In addition to the domestic league, Mezőkövesd participated in that season's editions of the Magyar Kupa.
During the season, the contract of Attila Kuttor was terminated by mutual agreement on 13 February 2024, after 7 games without a win in the league. It was his second managerial stint at the club since September 2022. Serbian Milan Milanović, who last managed Radnik Surdulica in the Serbian SuperLiga, has been appointed a day later as the new manager. After 8 matches, he offered his resignation to the chairman of Mezőkövesd due to not wanting to impose more financial burdens on the club because of a high probability of relegation, but András Tállai did not accept it.
On 21 April 2024, Mezőkövesd were officially relegated from the Nemzeti Bajnokság I following a 2–1 loss at Kecskemét.
