The 2023–24 PBA season or PBA Season 48 will be the 48th season of the Philippine Basketball Association.

Because of Gilas Pilipinas' participation in the upcoming World Cup and Asian Games, the PBA season will start on October 15, 2023 and would only have two conferences, first being the Commissioner's Cup, followed by the season-ending Philippine Cup.

The first activity of the season will be the PBA Season 48 draft to be held on September 17, 2023.

Coaching changes

Notable events

Pre-season
 Several players were sanctioned by their respective teams and the PBA due to numerous ligang labas infractions.
 Due to the long off-season, the PBA launched the "PBA on Tour", a months-long series of preseason games involving all PBA teams to be played across the country. Each team played 11 games and were allowed to have 17 players in their roster (but only 16 are allowed to play in a game) which are composed of their regular players, their 3x3 affiliate team players, free agents, and rookie aspirants. The tour started on May 21 and ended on July 30, 2023. There was no playoffs nor a championship series. The Magnolia Hotshots finished the tour with the best record, winning all of their 11 games.
 The PBA competition committee proposed several rule changes, most notably the addition of the head coach challenge. The proposed new rules were first implemented during the PBA on Tour. After the tour, the league will assess which rules will be adapted starting the regular season.
 Willie Marcial will remain as the league's commissioner until the 2026–27 season as his contract was extended by the PBA Board of Governors.
 The PBA Board of Governors relaxed its rules regarding draft-eligible players who refuse to enter the draft and active PBA players who leave the league to play in another league locally or internationally. These players are no longer required to "sit out" seasons prior to joining the PBA. The former rule sanctioned these players by barring them from playing in the PBA for at most five years. Foreign-born Filipinos older than 30 years old are also now allowed to join the draft.

2023–24 PBA Commissioner's Cup

The Commissioner's Cup is scheduled to start on October 15, 2023. The Bay Area Dragons, the franchise team of the East Asia Super League, are set to make a return after taking part in the previous Comissioner's Cup.
