The 2023–24 Washington Capitals season is the 50th season (49th season of play) for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 11, 1974.[1]

The Capitals attempted return to the playoffs after missing them for the first time since 2013–14 season (and only the second time since 2006–07), ending their eight-season playoff streak,[2] and will attempt to win the team's second Stanley Cup and their first since 2018. The Capitals clinched the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference on April 16, 2024, following a 2–1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, and will play the New York Rangers in the first round.[3]
