The 2023–24 season is Hamilton Academical's first season back in the third tier of Scottish football, following their relegation from the Scottish Championship at the end of the 2022–23 season. Hamilton will also compete in the League Cup, Challenge Cup and the Scottish Cup.

Summary

On 20 May 2023, following a play-off draw with Lanarkshire derby rivals Airdrieonians, Hamilton were relegated to League One after losing 5–6 on penalties. It will be the club's first appearance in the third tier of Scottish football since 2005.[1][2][3]

On 20 July, the club announced that the proposed takeover by 1874 Holding Limited had been successfully completed, with Seref Zengin appointed as the club's new CEO.[4][5]
