The 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season began on November 6, 2023. The regular season will end on March 17, 2024, with the 2024 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament beginning on March 20 and ending with the championship game at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio, on April 7.

This season is the first for the Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament, a secondary national tournament operated by the NCAA as a direct parallel to the men's National Invitation Tournament.

Rule changes

On May 5, 2023, the NCAA Basketball Rules Committee proposed a suite of rule changes for the 2023–24 season. These changes were approved by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel during its June 8 conference call:

• Players judged to have flopped will be warned on the first offense, with a technical foul to be issued for subsequent offenses. All flop calls after the first will be added to the team foul count, but not to the individual players' foul counts.
• Flopping and delay of game were established as a new class of technical fouls assessed to the team and not to individuals.
• The restricted-area arc within the free-throw lane was reduced from an arc 4 feet (1.22 m) from the center of the basket to the area directly under the basket. Defenders can now draw charges at any location other than directly under the basket.
• Prerecorded or live video can be transmitted to the bench area during the game, on an optional basis. This had been an experimental rule since 2021–22, but is now permanent.
• The shot clock will reset to 20 seconds for all offensive rebounds when the original shot has touched the rim.
• Red and amber lights can now be placed on the backboard.
• Schools will no longer have to apply for a waiver to allow players to use religious headwear that is safe for competition.
• All numbers from 0–99 will be allowed. Previously, player numbers could only include digits from 0 to 5.

Season headlines

• July 17, 2023
  • The NCAA announced the creation of the Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament (WBIT), a secondary 32-team national tournament that will be a direct parallel to the men's National Invitation Tournament.
  • Triple Crown Sports, which owns and operates the Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT), responded to the WBIT announcement by reducing the WNIT field from 64 to 48 teams, effective immediately.
• October 4 – The Division I Council announced changes to the transfer window for all sports. In men's and women's basketball, the transfer portal now opens on the day after Selection Sunday and remains open for 45 days, down from the previous 60.
• October 15 – Iowa held Crossover at Kinnick, an exhibition game at the school's football home of Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes defeated DePaul 94–72 in front of a crowd of 55,646, the largest documented attendance in history for a women's basketball game.
• October 23 – The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference announced that Merrimack and Sacred Heart would join from the Northeast Conference in July 2024.
• October 24 – The AP released its preseason All-America team. Reigning national player of the year Caitlin Clark of Iowa was the only unanimous choice, joined by forwards Angel Reese of LSU, Cameron Brink of Stanford, and Mackenzie Holmes of Indiana; center Elizabeth Kitley of Virginia Tech; and guard Paige Bueckers of UConn. The team had six players instead of the normal five because Holmes and Kitley tied in voting for the fifth spot.
• October 27 – The NCAA announced that effective immediately, the top overall seed in the Division I tournament would be placed in a regional pod playing on Friday and Sunday. This assures that team of the most possible rest time between the regional final and the Final Four, assuming that it advances to that point.

Milestones and records

• November 12 – Caitlin Clark joined Sabrina Ionescu as the only Division I players to collect a triple-double in four different seasons, recording 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists in Iowa's 94–53 blowout of Northern Iowa. Clark also surpassed Megan Gustafson as Iowa's all-time scoring leader.

Arenas

New arenas

• Austin Peay left the on-campus Winfield Dunn Center for the new F&M Bank Arena in downtown Clarksville, Tennessee after 49 seasons. The new arena opened on July 15, 2023. The team played its first game there on November 6, 2023, against Life University.
• Baylor will be leaving the Ferrell Center for the new Foster Pavilion; the venue will open with the team's first game being played there on January 2, 2024, against Cornell University.
• Georgia Southern will leave the Hanner Fieldhouse for the new Jack and Ruth Ann Hill Convocation Center. The venue was scheduled to open in the early fall of 2023, but was delayed until 2024–25 season.
• Longwood left Willett Hall for the new Joan Perry Brock Center; the venue opened on August 25, 2023. The team played its first game there on November 11, 2023, against St. Mary's of Maryland.
• Vermont was originally slated to open the new Tarrant Event Center, the replacement for Patrick Gym, in 2021. However, the new arena has since been placed on indefinite hold. Construction was initially halted by COVID-19. With the Tarrant Center being part of a much larger upgrade of UVM's athletic and recreation facilities, UVM chose to prioritize a new student recreation center. Construction of the Tarrant Center is now being hampered by increased borrowing costs.

Upsets

An upset is a victory by an underdog team. In the context of NCAA Division I women's basketball, this generally constitutes an unranked team defeating a team currently ranked in the top 25. This list will highlight those upsets of ranked teams by unranked teams as well as upsets of No. 1 teams. Rankings are from the AP poll. Bold type indicates winning teams in "true road games"—i.e., those played on an opponents home court (including secondary homes). Italics type indicates winning teams in an early season tournament (or event). Early season tournaments are tournaments played in the early season. Events are the tournaments with the same teams in it every year (even rivalry games).

Coaching changes

Many teams will change coaches during the season and after it ends. Three teams so far have had a coaching change between June 1 and the start of the season.

Team	Former coach	Interim coach	New coach	Reason
Georgetown	Tasha Butts	Darnell Haney		Butts died on October 24, 2023, at the age of 41 following a two-year battle with breast cancer. She had been hired by the university in April from Georgia Tech and had stepped away from the program last month to focus on her health. Hoyas associate head coach Haney was named interim head coach for the season, continuing the role he had during Butts' initial leave.
North Carolina Central	Trisha Stafford-Odom	Terrence Baxter		North Carolina Central released Stafford-Odom from her contract on September 13, 2023, after 6 seasons. Eagles assistant coach Baxter was named interim head coach of the team for the season.
Pepperdine	Tim Hays	Kelsey Keizer		Hays, who was hired by Pepperdine in April, announced his resignation on August 14, 2023, citing a desire to be closer to his family. Waves assistant coach Keizer will serve as the team's interim head coach for the season.
