# 2023–24 Paksi FC season

The 2023–24 season was Paksi Futball Club's 18th competitive season, 18th consecutive season in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I and 73rd season in existence as a football club. In addition to the domestic league, Paks participated in that season's editions of the Magyar Kupa.
Paks finished the first half of the season in first place in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I, but in the second half of the season the club's performance dropped and they lost five games in a row on one occasion, which meant that Ferencváros defended his title in the end. They got their revenge in the cup final, where they beat them 2–0 after extra time to win their first Magyar Kupa title and second silverware after winning the Ligakupa in 2010–11.
