# 2023–24 Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. season

The 2023–24 season is Maccabi Tel Aviv's 117th season since its establishment in 1906 and 76th since the establishment of the State of Israel. During the 2023–24 campaign, the club will compete in the Israeli Premier League, State Cup, Toto Cup and Europa Conference League.
Maccabi separated from their former manager Aitor Karanka on 25 June, and two days later announced Robbie Keane as their new manager.
Sheran Yeini is still the team captain, however, second captain Eran Zahavi frequently starts in his place.
By the end of August, Maccabi guaranteed its participation in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage. This will be the ninth time Maccabi Tel Aviv has participated in the European group stage and the third time in the last four years.
Notable signings for this year include French defender Yvann Maçon and the international Angolan winger Felício Milson, while goalkeeper Daniel Peretz was transferred to Bayern Munich and striker Đorđe Jovanović was bought by FC Basel.
As a result of 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, the Israeli league was postponed since the sixth round, the Maccabi game in the third round of the Conference League was postponed to November, and the club will host its European games outside of Israel.
On 14 December Maccabi secured first place in the group stage of the Conference League and thus guaranteed an appearance in the round of 16, the most advanced stage of a European competition in the team's history.
On 24 January Maccabi won the Toto Cup after a penalty shootout over Maccabi Haifa.
On 25 May Maccabi won the Israeli Premier League, making it Maccabi's 25th Israeli title.
