The 2023–24 season was Al Hilal's 48th consecutive season in the top flight of Saudi football and 66th year in existence as a football club.[1] The club participated in the Pro League, the King Cup, the AFC Champions League, the Arab Club Champions Cup, and the Saudi Super Cup. The season covers the period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.

On 26 February 2024, Al Hilal won a record fourteenth consecutive Saudi Pro League match with a 2–0 victory against Al-Ettifaq, surpassing rival Al-Nassr's previous league record of thirteen consecutive wins achieved from November 2013 to February 2014.[2]

On 5 April, following a 4–1 victory over Al-Khaleej, Al Hilal set a new world record for consecutive matches won by a men's top-flight professional football club across all competitions with 32, breaking the record of 31 previously set by Irish club Belfast Celtic in 1948.[3] Al Hilal's streak would end at 34 consecutive wins, after losing 4–2 away to Al Ain in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals on 17 April.[4] This record did not last long, as the Turkmen club Arkadag broke the record in the same year, reaching 46 consecutive wins, as of June 2024.[5] [6] [7] Subsequently, Al Hilal completed the unbeaten season on 27 May.[8]
