The 2023–24 season was the 58th season of NEROCA FC in existence and seventh season in the I-League.
NEROCA had a poor campaign and could gather only 13 points from 21 matches. Their loss against Real Kashmir on 30 March 2024 confirmed their relegation to I-League 2. By then, they had managed four wins, one draw, and 16 losses. Their final fixture of the season was cancelled after they refused to travel to Aizawl citing security concerns. The final game they played was at home against Gokulam Kerala on 7 April 2024, which ended in a 0–3 defeat.
