The 2023–24 season was FC Groningen's 53rd season in existence and their first one back in the Eerste Divisie since 2000 after enduring a disastrous campaign the previous season.[1] They also competed in the KNVB Cup.

Under coach Dick Lukkien, Groningen finished as runners-up and won promotion back to the Eredivisie with a squad composed of many players who were recruited from Groningen's youth academy; the team defeated direct rivals Roda JC 2–0 on the last matchday to take second place from them.[2] Groningen also reached the semi-final of the KNVB Cup for the first time since 2015.
