The 2023–24 City Oilers season is the 12th season in the existence of the Ugandan basketball club City Oilers. It is the second straight season the Oilers play in the Basketball Africa League (BAL), following a successful performance in their fourth qualification campaign.
It was the first NBL Uganda season without head coach Mandy Juruni, who left the team in December.
Under head coach Marandy Juruni, the Oilers qualified for their second consecutive BAL season following a semi-final win over Burundi's Dynamo in the East Division of the 2024 BAL qualification.
In December 2023, it was announced Juruni was leaving the team, as he signed with Kepler BBC in Rwanda.[1] On December 22, Andrew Tendo took over head coaching duties.[2] Karim Nesba, a former Morocco international, was appointed as coach specifically for the BAL season.[3]
In the BAL, the Oilers were allocated in the Nile Conference for a second year in a row. Guard Germaine Roebuck Jr. was unable to participate due to injury, and BAL top scorer Falando Jones signed a contract with Smouha in Egypt.[4]
The following was the City Oilers roster for the 2024 BAL season.
