The 2023–24 Pittsburgh Penguins season is the 57th season (56th season of play) for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 5, 1967.[1]

On June 1, 2023, Kyle Dubas was hired as the president of hockey operations and general manager of the Penguins,[2] replacing Brian Burke.[3]

The Penguins will attempt to make the playoffs for the 17th time in 18 years after missing the postseason for the first time since 2006,[4] and ending the longest active playoff appearance streak among the four major North American sports leagues at 16 years. The old Pittsburgh Penguins spot for being the longest active playoffs streak now belongs to the MLB's Los Angeles Dodgers making the playoffs 10 years straight.[5][6] They will attempt to win the team's 6th Stanley Cup in franchise history and their first since 2017. This will be the first season since 2012–13 that Brian Dumoulin will not be on the roster, as he went to the Seattle Kraken. Also with the MLB's St. Louis Cardinals having a losing season for the first time since 2007, the Penguins will enter this season taking the Cardinals spot for the 3rd longest consecutive non-losing season last having a losing season in 2006.
