The 2023–24 Arizona Coyotes season was the 45th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 22, 1979, the 28th of the Coyotes after relocation from Winnipeg following the 1995–96 season,[1] and the 52nd overall season, including the World Hockey Association (WHA) years. It was their second and final season playing their home games at Mullett Arena, which holds the distinction of being the smallest venue in the National Hockey League based on seating capacity, accommodating just 4,600 spectators at maximum capacity.[2]
On March 26, 2024, the Coyotes were eliminated from playoff contention following a 5–4 overtime win by the Nashville Predators against the Vegas Golden Knights.[3] In the closing days of the season, it was reported in numerous sources that the franchise would be sold to Utah-based businessman Ryan Smith, with the intention of relocating the Coyotes to Salt Lake City.
The sale of the Coyotes was finalized on April 18, 2024, the day after Arizona's season-ending 5–2 win over Edmonton, with the franchise officially marked as suspended operations. Under the terms of the agreement with current owner Alex Meruelo, if a new arena is built within five years, the franchise is expected to be revived, retaining the names, rights, and trademarks to the Coyotes logo, name, and brand. If they do not secure a new arena the team will cease operations.[4]
