The 2023–24 Latvian Hockey League season was the 33rd season of the Latvian Hockey League, the top level of ice hockey in Latvia. This season was contested by nine teams – five from Latvia, three from Lithuania, and one from Estonia.[1][2] The regular season started on 8 September 2023 and was scheduled to end on 28 February 2024,[3] but ended on 29 February, after a game between Kurbads and HS Rīga on 17 February was postponed.[4] The playoffs started on 2 March and ended on 4 April.[5][6]

The playoffs format was changed for this season with top six teams in the regular advancing to the postseason. Two best teams directly qualified for the semifinals, while teams that finished from third to sixth played in a best-of-five quarterfinals series. In the semifinals and finals teams played in a best-of-seven series.[5]

Zemgale/LBTU were the defending champions and lost the finals series in five games to Mogo/LSPA who won their third title. Linards Feldbergs of Mogo/LSPA was named the most valuable player (MVP) of the finals series.[6]
