Manchester City, the defending champions, won their fourth consecutive title, the first men's team to do so.[6][7][8]
This season was the third to feature a winter break, with each team having a two-week break from all competitions some time between 2 January and 30 January 2024.[9] The summer transfer window was from 14 June to 1 September 2023, while the winter transfer window was between 1 January and 1 February 2024.[10]
A record 1,246 goals (380 games, an average of 3.28 per match) were scored during the season, breaking the previous record of 1,222 in the 1992–93 season (which had 462 games). The average goals per game was the highest in the top flight since 1964–65.[11] All three of the newly promoted teams were relegated (Luton Town, Burnley, and Sheffield United), the first time this happened since the 1997–98 season; those three teams had a combined total of 66 points. Nottingham Forest avoided relegation with 32 points (including a 4-point deduction), a record low for a team to do so.
