The 2023–24 season was the 146th season in the history of Everton Football Club and their 70th consecutive season in the top flight of English football. In addition to the domestic league, the club participated in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.
On 17 November 2023, Everton were deducted ten points from their Premier League total for breaching the league's profit and sustainability rules. This marked the biggest points deduction in Premier League history. Everton appealed against the decision, with their appeal intended to be heard in March 2024. However, on 15 January 2024, they were found to have another breach of the profit and sustainability rules with an ongoing investigation. On 26 February, the aforementioned ten point deduction was reduced to six points after the initial result of the appeal board.
On 8 April, Everton were further found guilty for a second profit and sustainability rule breach, resulting in a two-point deduction, subject to appeal. As a result, Everton became the first club in English top-flight history to have ever received two separate points deductions in a single season.
