2023–24 Brøndby IF season

The 2023–24 Brøndby IF season is Brøndby IF's 43rd consecutive season in top-division of the Danish football league, the 34th consecutive in Danish Superliga, and the 58th as a football club. Besides the Superliga, the club also competes in the Danish Cup. It is the second season with head coach Jesper Sørensen, after he replaced Niels Frederiksen during the 2022–23 season.

Background and pre-season
The 2023–24 season is Brøndby's 43rd consecutive season in the top-division of the Danish football league. In the previous season, Brøndby had finished fifth, out of position to qualify for European football. Jesper Sørensen serves as manager for a second season, having been appointed in early-2023 after former head coach Niels Frederiksen had been dismissed. Kevin Mensah was the team's captain for a second season, after Andreas Maxsø's departure in January 2023.

There were significant changes to the playing squad ahead of the season, and key players the previous years left the club for undisclosed fees, including Mads Hermansen to Leicester City, Anis Ben Slimane to Sheffield United, Simon Hedlund to IF Elfsborg, and Blas Riveros to Talleres. The club made a high-profile signing early in the window in Jacob Rasmussen from Fiorentina, as well as Sean Klaiber from Utrecht later on. Adding to this, they signed young prospects Justin Che, Mateusz Kowalczyk, Yuito Suzuki and Emmanuel Yeboah.

The team prepared for the new season with a number of friendly matches, including matchups against Swansea City and Crystal Palace.

Season summary
Brøndby had a strong start to the Danish Superliga season, securing a 2–1 away win against Silkeborg on 23 July 2023. Although they faced two subsequent losses, they rebounded with a remarkable five-game winning streak, conceding just one goal. This streak elevated them to second place in the league standings. Notably, Nicolai Vallys made a significant impact in the attack, scoring six goals in the first eight games of the season and earning the Danish Superliga Player of the Month award for August and a call-up for the Denmark national team.

Brøndby took on Copenhagen for the season's first Copenhagen Derby on 24 September, coming off the win streak. They could, however, not continue the win streak, despite dominating in the first half. Two late goals from Roony Bardghji sealed Copenhagen's 3–2 win. Just three days later, Brøndby made a strong comeback in the Danish Cup, securing a 3–0 victory against HIK. They maintained their excellent form in the subsequent two games, with wins over Hvidovre and Viborg, which catapulted them to the top of the league table. Brøndby concluded the fall season with a positive streak, remaining undefeated in eight games. Despite this, they drew half of these matches. As a result, by December 2023, they held the second position in the league table, trailing only behind Midtjylland. Additionally, their journey in the Danish Cup came to an end in December, bowing out in the quarter-finals with a 3–2 aggregate loss to AGF, despite securing a 2–1 home win in the second leg.
