# 2023–24 Pac-12 Conference women's basketball season

The 2023–24 Pac-12 Conference women's basketball season began with practices in October followed by the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season, which started on November 6, 2023. Conference play began on December 10, 2023. This is the twelfth season under the Pac–12 Conference name and the 38th since the conference first sponsored women's sports, including basketball, in the 1986–87 school year.
It was the final season of Pac-12 competition in the conference's then-current form, with UCLA, USC, Oregon & Washington moving to the Big Ten Conference; Colorado returning to its previous home of the Big 12 Conference, with Utah, Arizona & Arizona State following suit; California and Stanford moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference, and Oregon State and Washington State moving to the West Coast Conference (WCC) after the 2023–24 academic year. With Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Gonzaga, San Diego State, and Utah State joining the Pac-12 in 2026, coinciding with the end of Oregon State's and Washington State's WCC affiliation contract, Pac-12 play will resume in 2026–27.
The Pac-12 tournament took place on March 6−10, 2024 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on the Las Vegas Strip, just outside the city limits of Las Vegas.
