The 2023–24 PWHL Ottawa season was the team's inaugural season as a member of the newly created Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). They played their home games at TD Place Arena in Ottawa.

Ottawa finished the season on a three-game losing streak, and were eliminated from playoff contention in the final regular season game, a 5–2 loss to PWHL Toronto. Despite missing the playoffs, Ottawa led the league in attendance.

The team announced Mike Hirshfeld as their first employee in the summer of 2023 when he was named general manager. On August 31, it was announced that TD Place Arena would be the home venue for the team. On September 5, the team signed its first three players in Emily Clark, Brianne Jenner, and Emerance Maschmeyer. On September 15, the team named Carla MacLeod its head coach. On December 29, Jenner was named captain, with Clark and Jincy Roese to serve as assistant captains.

Schedule and results

Regular season

On December 17, 2023, it was announced that the team had sold out its January 2 opening game against Montreal. With 8,318 fans in attendance at the game, it set a new record for attendance at a professional women's hockey game. Hayley Scamurra scored the first goal in franchise history during the game, but PWHL Montréal won the game in overtime by a score of 3–2. After its second scheduled game was postponed due to inclement weather, Ottawa secured its first ever win on January 13 with a 5–1 victory over PWHL Toronto. After dropping its first two home games in overtime, Ottawa won its first game at TD Place Arena on January 23, defeating Toronto by a score of 3–1.

Ottawa was in a position to clinch a playoff spot in late April, needing one regulation win with three games left on the schedule. However, Ottawa lost all three games, including a 4–3 decision against last place-PWHL New York, and narrowly missed out on the final playoff spot.
