The 2023–24 NAHL season was the 40th season of the North American Hockey League. The regular season ran from September 13, 2024 to April 12, 2025 with a 60-game schedule for each team. The Lone Star Brahmas won the regular season championship and went on to defeat the Maryland Black Bears 4–2 in the Championship game to capture the Robertson Cup.
Member changes On December 8, 2022, the Rochester Americans announced that they were resuming their affiliation with junior hockey and restarting the Rochester Jr. Americans program. This was at least the fifth time that a team would possess that name and the newest edition would begin play in the fall of 2023.
In 2023, the NAHL granted a provisional franchise to Watertown, South Dakota following the completion of the Prairie Lakes Ice Arena. Construction delays pushed back the opening of the new rink forcing the entry of the franchise to be delayed until 2024–25.
On January 6, 2023, the Colorado Grit were announced as an expansion franchise that would begin playing the following September.
On March 16, 2023, the New Hampshire Mountain Kings were added as another expansion franchise that would also start the following year.
