Petro de Luanda plays the 2023–24 season in the Angolan Basketball League and the Basketball Africa League (BAL), as well as in two national cup competitions. This season saw Petro win their first BAL championship.

The team came off a successful domestic season in 2022–23, which included Petro's 16th national title. It is the fourth season under Brazilian head coach José Neto. The team strengthened their roster with Angolan star players Edmir Lucas and Yanick Moreira – both had played for Petro earlier in their career.

In March 2024, following disappointing results in the conference stage of the BAL, Petro and José Neto decided to part ways. Four days later, Sergio Valdeolmillos was hired as successor.[1] Following a runner-up finish in the Angolan Cup and a sixteenth Angolan League title, Petro also won the BAL on 1 June 2024.[2]
