The 2023–24 Atlantic Coast Conference women's basketball season began with practices in October 2023, followed by the start of the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season in November. Conference play started in December 2023 and ended on March 3, 2024. After the regular season, the 2024 ACC women's basketball tournament was held at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, NC for the 24th time in 25 years.[4]

Virginia Tech finished as regular season champions, finishing one game ahead of NC State, Notre Dame and Syracuse. NC State and Syracuse were surprise finishers, as they were picked 8th and 9th, respectively, in the preseason poll. Virginia Tech could not convert their regular season championship into a Tournament championship, as Notre Dame won the ACC Tournament over NC State. The ACC sent eight teams to the NCAA Tournament. They finished with an overall record of 11–8 and NC State made it the furthest in the tournament. NC State reached the Final Four before losing to South Carolina.
