The 2023–24 ACB season, also known as Liga Endesa for sponsorship reasons, was the 41st season of the top Spanish professional basketball league, since its establishment in 1983. It started on 23 September 2023 with the regular season and ended on 12 June 2024 with the finals.
Barça was the defending champion which was swept in semifinals by Real Madrid in a rematch of last year's finals, with Los Blancos winning a record-extending 37th Spanish title (15th in the ACB era) after another sweep against outstanding UCAM Murcia in the finals.
Teams
Promotion and relegation (pre-season) A total of 18 teams contested the league, including 16 sides from the 2022–23 season and two promoted from the 2022–23 LEB Oro. This includes the top team from the LEB Oro, and the winners of the LEB Oro Final Four.
On May 13, 2023, MoraBanc Andorra became the first team to secure the promotion to ACB after a 95–61 huge win to Club Ourense Baloncesto in the next-to-last round of the regular season that crowned it as LEB Oro champions. It returned to the league after a one-year absence. On June 18, 2023, Zunder Palencia became the second team to achieve the promotion to ACB after winning the LEB Oro Final Four in a 95–83 win against Hereda San Pablo Burgos to get the last spot to ACB. It was the debut season of the Castilian team in the Spanish top tier and it became the first team from the province of Palencia to compete in the Spanish top flight.
The first team to be relegated from ACB was Carplus Fuenlabrada, after a 93–112 huge loss against Cazoo Baskonia on 23 April 2023, ending their 18-year stay in the top tier. The second team relegated to LEB Oro was Real Betis Baloncesto, after a 79–77 close lose in the last round against Real Madrid on 24 May 2023, ending their five-year stay in the top tier.
