# 2023–24 Al Ahly men's basketball season

The 2023–24 season Al Ahly men's basketball season is the 94th season of Al Ahly's men's basketball team. This season, the Reds are the defending champions in the Basketball Africa League (BAL). They also made their debut in the FIBA Intercontinental Cup, finishing fourth, and became the first African team to ever win a game in the competition following their 21 September win over the NBA G League Ignite.
Al Ahly was unable to defend its BAL championship, as the second seed they were eliminated by seven seed Al Ahly Ly in the quarterfinals. Domestically, the Reds had a disappointing campaign as well as they lost both the Premier League finals and Egyptian Cup finals to Al Ittihad Alexandria Club.
