The 2023–24 season is the 129th season in the existence of Manchester City Football Club and their 22nd consecutive season in the top flight of English football, where they are competing as three-time defending champions. As reigning continental treble winners, Manchester City are participating in seven competitions this season, namely the Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, FA Community Shield, UEFA Champions League; entering the latter for the 13th consecutive season and as defending champions for the first time; UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup; also making their debut in the latter two tournaments.
City kicked off the unprecedented season on 6 August 2023 by losing the Community Shield for the third consecutive year, this time to Arsenal. They drew 1–1 in normal time, having conceded an eleventh-minute injury time equaliser and lost the subsequent penalty shoot-out 1–4. As such, the Blues have lost out on an opportunity to become only the third European men's club to win the sextuple. City clinched their first trophy of the season ten days later, on 16 August, in another one-off match, overcoming Sevilla on penalties after a 1–1 draw after extra time for the club's first-ever UEFA Super Cup. On 27 September, the Blues were knocked out of the League Cup in the third round by Newcastle United following a 1–0 away loss. On 22 December, City defeated Fluminense 4–0 in the Club World Cup final to win the competition for the first time, becoming the first English club to hold five major domestic and international titles simultaneously.
The season is the first since 2015–16 without German midfielder and former club captain İlkay Gündoğan, who departed to Barcelona at the end of his contract in the summer. Kyle Walker eventually replaced him as the new captain.

Pre-season and friendlies[]
On 20 April 2023, Manchester City announced a tour of South Korea as part of the pre-season preparations in July, where they would take on Atlético Madrid in the Coupang Play Series. This tour was the first time City visited South Korea since 1976. The club later announced that two friendlies against Yokohama F. Marinos, a fellow CFG club, and Bayern Munich, who City faced a year ago in the United States, would take place in Tokyo before the team traveled to South Korea.
