The 2023–24 season was Al-Shorta's 50th season in the Iraq Stars League, having featured in all 49 previous editions of the competition. Al-Shorta participated in the Iraq Stars League as defending champions, as well as competing in the Iraq FA Cup. Al-Shorta did not participate in the AFC Champions League as they did not obtain an AFC license.

Al-Shorta won the league title for the third consecutive season, led by Moamen Soliman, who returned to the club to take over from Chiheb Ellili midway through the season. Al-Shorta secured the league title in the penultimate round of the season by defeating Duhok 1–0. Al-Shorta also won the Iraq FA Cup title for the first time in their history, beating rivals Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya 1–0 in the final to secure the double for the first time.
