# 2023–24 Atalanta BC season

The 2023–24 season was the 116th season in the history of Atalanta BC and the club's 13th consecutive season in the top flight. In addition to the domestic league, Atalanta participated in this season's editions of the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Europa League.
On 24 April 2024, the club booked their place in the 2024 Coppa Italia final with a 4–2 aggregate win over Fiorentina. Juventus also reached the final, ensuring that it would be a rematch of the 2021 Coppa Italia final. Atalanta would ultimately lose the match 1–0.
Following a 4–1 aggregate win over French side Marseille on 9 May, Atalanta qualified for the UEFA Europa League final for the first time in its history, and went on to win 3–0 against German side Bayer Leverkusen to claim its first trophy since 1963 and first ever European title.
