<- 2022–23

2024–25 ->

The 2023–24 season was Bayer 04 Leverkusen's 120th season in existence and 45th consecutive season in the Bundesliga. They also competed in the DFB-Pokal and the UEFA Europa League.

Following a 5–0 victory over Werder Bremen on 14 April 2024, Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga title for the first time in the club's history.[1][2] It also marked the club's first major trophy since 1993.[3][4] In addition, they became the first team in history to win the Bundesliga without losing a single match, finishing the competition with 28 wins and 6 draws.[5][6]

On 9 May 2024, following a 2–2 draw against Roma in the Europa League semi-final second leg, the club set a new European record for consecutive competitive matches without a loss (49), breaking Benfica's record of 48 games unbeaten set between 1963 and 1965.[7][2][8][9] In the pursuit of achieving this record, the club succeeded in netting 17 goals during stoppage time and 34 goals from the 80th minute onwards,[10][11] encompassing crucial last-minute match winners or equalizers.[12][13][14] However, Leverkusen's unbeaten run would end at 51 matches, following a 3–0 defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League final on 22 May.[15]

On 25 May, Leverkusen won the DFB-Pokal final against Kaiserslautern and completed an undefeated domestic double, finishing their campaign with just one defeat in 53 competitive matches.[16][17]
