The 2023–24 season is the 20th season in the history of the Scarlets, a Welsh regional rugby union side based in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire. In this season, they are competing in the United Rugby Championship[1] and the European Rugby Challenge Cup.

Friendlies

On 12 June 2023, the Scarlets announced that they would face the Barbarians in a pre-season friendly. The game would be marked as the Phil Bennett Memorial Game and the culmination of the 150-year anniversary celebration since Llanelli RFC were founded.[2] Former Scarlets players Aaron Shingler and Rob Evans were named as part of the Barbarians squad.[3][4] The Scarlets won the game 33–19 despite Evans scoring for the Barbarians in the 46th minute.[5]
