The 2023–24 season was the 138th season in the history of Luton Town and their first ever season in the Premier League.[1] It was the club's first return to the top flight of English football since the 1991–92 season.[1] In addition to the domestic league, the club also participated in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

Luton were relegated from the Premier League on the final day of the season following a 4–2 home loss to Fulham, combined with results elsewhere.[2]
