2023–24 Arizona Coyotes season

The 2023–24 Arizona Coyotes season was the 45th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 22, 1979, the 28th of the Coyotes after relocation from Winnipeg following the 1995–96 season, and the 52nd and final overall season for the original Jets/Coyotes organization, including their World Hockey Association (WHA) years. It was also their second and final season playing their home games at Mullett Arena, which held the distinction of being the smallest venue in the National Hockey League based on seating capacity in the modern 21st century era, accommodating just 4,600 spectators at maximum capacity.

On March 26, 2024, the Coyotes were eliminated from playoff contention following a 5–4 overtime win by the Nashville Predators against the Vegas Golden Knights. In the closing days of the season, it was reported in numerous sources that the Coyotes organization would be transferred to an expansion franchise the league was planning to award to Utah-based businessman Ryan Smith, with the intention of relocating the Coyotes' hockey assets (but not the actual Coyotes franchise itself) to Salt Lake City.

The transaction was finalized on April 18, 2024, the day after Arizona's season-ending 5–2 win over the eventual Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers, with the Coyotes franchise having officially been recognized as having suspended hockey operations since that day. Under the terms of the agreement with current owner Alex Meruelo, if a new arena that is considered suitable for the NHL is built within five years, the franchise is expected to be reactivated, thus retaining the names, rights, and trademarks to the Coyotes logo, name, and brand in the process of it all. If they do not secure a new arena by 2029, however, the team will likely cease operations for good, which happened two months later after Meruelo left.
