The 2023–24 Women's FIH Pro League was the fifth edition of the Women's FIH Pro League, a field hockey championship for women's national teams. The tournament began on 6 December 2023 and finished on 29 June 2024.[1]

The Netherlands won the tournament for the fourth time.[2]

Format

The home and away principle was kept for the season, which was divided into date blocks. To assist with competition planning, international and national, several teams gathered in one venue to contest “mini-tournaments," wherein they each played two matches against one another.[1]

If one of the two matches played between two teams was cancelled, the winner of the other match received double points.

This season winner earned direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup. As the Netherlands were already qualified as host, Germany secured their participation.[3]

Teams

Following the announcement of New Zealand's withdrawal for this current season, the United States rejoined despite relegation earned in the previous season.[4]
