2023–24 Arizona Coyotes season

The 2023–24 Arizona Coyotes season is the 45th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 22, 1979, the 28th season since the franchise relocated from Winnipeg following the 1995–96 season,[1] and the 52nd overall season, including the World Hockey Association (WHA) years. It is their second season playing their home games at Mullett Arena. This is the first season in which Coyotes games are being aired by Scripps Sports in both Arizona and Utah. This comes after long-time partner Bally Sports Arizona failed to retain the rights to broadcast Coyotes games during the preseason period, which subsequently led to them shutting down their services on October 21, 2023.
