† 2024 MAC tournament winner

The 2023–24 Western Michigan Broncos women's basketball team represented Western Michigan University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season.

Previous season

The Broncos finished the 2022–23 season 12–17, 7–11 in MAC play to finish in a four-way tie for seventh place.[1] Due to tiebreakers, they failed to qualify for the MAC tournament, as only the top eight teams qualify.[2][3]
