The 2023–24 Kentucky Wildcats women's basketball team represents the University of Kentucky during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Wildcats, led by fourth-year head coach Kyra Elzy, are playing most of their home games at Rupp Arena as Memorial Coliseum undergoes extensive renovations this season and compete as members of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The Wildcats will play five games at other venues in and near their home city of Lexington, Kentucky. Four home games, including the season opener, are at the Clive M. Beck Center at Transylvania University in Lexington, and one is at Davis–Reid Alumni Gym at Georgetown College in the city of that name.[1][2]
