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. 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.
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. 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. This record did not last long, as the Turkmen club Arkadag broke the record in the same year, reaching 61 consecutive wins, before the streak ended on November 1 after the team lost to Al-Arabi with a score of 3–2. Subsequently, Al Hilal completed the unbeaten season on 27 May.
