The 2023–24 Botola Pro, also known as Botola Pro Inwi for sponsorship reasons, is the 67th season of the Premier League and the 13th under its current format of Moroccan Pro League, the top Moroccan professional league for association football clubs, since its establishment in 1956. AS FAR came into the season as defending champions of the 2022–23 season. RCA Zemamra and Youssoufia Berrechid entered as the two promoted teams from the 2022–23 Botola 2.
On 14 June 2024, Raja CA won the last round 0–3 against MC Oujda and were crowned champions ending the season without a single defeat – the first team ever to do so in the history of the league.
