It will cover the period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024. In addition to the league, they will also compete in the FA Cup, the EFL Cup, and the EFL Trophy.

Bolton's kits for the 2023–24 design were voted on by Bolton fans from a choice of three kits for both. The choices for the home kit were between a remade version of the 1983–84 kit, a remade version of the 1993–94 kit, and a third alternate design. The choices for the away kit were from Teal Diamonds, Navy x Hot Pink, and Graphic Black. The 1983–84 and Graphic Black options won the votes.[1][2][3]
