The 2023–24 Toronto Maple Leafs season is the franchise's 107th season (106th season of play) in the National Hockey League. The Leafs will attempt to improve on their 50–21–11 record in the 2022–23 season, avenge their five-game loss to the Florida Panthers in the Second Round of the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs, and make it to and win their first Stanley Cup since 1967. Since the Pittsburgh Penguins missed the playoffs for the first time since 2006, the Maple Leafs currently hold a tie for the longest active playoff streak with their rivals, the Boston Bruins, with both making the playoffs every year since 2017. The Maple Leafs played two games in Stockholm at the Avicii Arena on November 17 and 19 as part of the NHL Global Series.

Brad Treliving was named general manager on May 31, 2023, after the Maple Leafs parted ways with Kyle Dubas at the end of the 2022–23 season.[1][2]
