The 2023–24 Lietuvos krepšinio lyga season, also called Betsafe–LKL for sponsorship reasons, was the 31st season of the top-tier level professional basketball league of Lithuania, the Lietuvos krepšinio lyga (LKL). Rytas won their seventh championship after defeating defending champions Žalgiris in the finals 3–1.
12 teams participated in the 2023–24 season. On 22 May 2023, league's license was granted to M Basket.[1] On 25 January 2024, Gargždai decleared bankruptcty and during the meeting on 29 January, it was officially confirmed that the team would not play the remaining games of the season.[2] [3]
Wolves Twinsbet played in the Avia Solutions Group Arena after spending their inaugural season playing in Alytus, during the reconstruction of the venue. On August 26, Rytas agreed to also return to the venue for a limited amount of matches.
Two newest members of the league played home games out of town, due to a lack of suitable venues. Gargždai shared the Švyturys Arena with Neptūnas after failing to agree terms to extend the lease of the Palanga Arena. M Basket-Delamode played in Telšiai, after the final refurbishments of the Telšiai Sports Arena managed to satisfy minimum LKL requirements.
