The 2023–24 season is Birmingham City Football Club's 121st season in the English football league system and 13th consecutive season in the second-tier EFL Championship. As with all members of the English Football League, the club's first team also competed in the FA Cup, in which they lost to Leicester City in the fourth round, and the EFL Cup, from which they were eliminated in the second round by Cardiff City.
In October, head coach John Eustace was sacked and replaced by Wayne Rooney as manager. Rooney was sacked on 2 January 2024. His successor, Tony Mowbray, stepped back from the role in February to undergo medical treatment, took formal medical leave on 19 March, and Gary Rowett rejoined the club as interim manager. Mowbray resigned on health grounds on 21 May. On 6 June, after "close to 1,000 coaches being evaluated and more than 40 being spoken to directly or through their representatives", Chris Davies, senior assistant coach under Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur, was appointed manager on a four-year contract. It would be his first senior managerial role.
Birmingham ended the season with 50 points, which was not enough to save them from relegation to EFL League One. They finished 22nd in the 24-team table, one point behind Plymouth Argyle.
The season covers the period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.
