2023–24 Sheffield United F.C. season


The 2023–24 season was the 135th season in the history of Sheffield United and their first season in the Premier League since the 2020–21 season following their promotion from the Championship in the previous season. The club also participated in the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

Following a 4–2 loss to Manchester United on 24 April, Sheffield United broke the record of 89 goals conceded in a 38-game Premier League season set by Derby County in the 2007–08 season. Three days later, the club were officially relegated back to the Championship following a 5–1 defeat away to Newcastle United. This defeat left the Blades on 16 points, 10 fewer than 17th-placed Nottingham Forest with only three matches remaining.

On 4 May, following a 3–1 home defeat against Nottingham Forest, the club equaled Swindon Town's record of most goals conceded in the Premier League in 1993–94, with 100. A week later, on 11 May, they surpassed the previous record with a 1–0 away defeat against Everton.

On the final matchday of the season, Sheffield United suffered a 3–0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, setting a new record of 104 goals conceded. This also resulted in a goal difference of –69, matching Derby County's negative record from the aforementioned 2007–08 season. Additionally, they set new records for goals conceded at home with 57, surpassing Aston Villa's record from the 1935–36 season, and recorded a home goal difference of –38.
