The 2023–24 Men's England Hockey League season was the 2023–24 season of England's field hockey league structure and England Hockey Men's Championship Cup for men. The season started on 16 September 2023. Old Georgians were the defending league and cup champions, having won the league and cup double twice during the last two seasons.

Old Georgians secured a third successive league championship defeating Surbiton 3-1 in the play off final. Beeston regained the England Hockey Men's Championship Cup that they last won in 2020.

Format

The Premier Division changed the system of phases and matches, whereby it was possible for a team finishing eighth after phase 2 to still win the title.

  • Phase 1 - 11 matches per club determining the top six and bottom six clubs for phase 2.
  • Phase 2 - 5 additional matches per club determining the top eight and bottom four clubs for phase 3.
  • Phase 3 - 3 additional matches per club determining the top four to progress to league finals weekend and the bottom two to be relegated.
