Petro de Luanda qualified for their fourth straight BAL season by winning their sixteenth Angolan Basketball League championship, having defeated Primeiro de Agosto in the national finals. The team largely remained the same, while Yanick Moreira and Edmir Lucas returned to Petro. They were allocated in the inaugural Kalahari Conference, in a group with FUS Rabat, Cape Town Tigers and Dynamo. Following the disqualification of Dynamo, who refused to play with the Visit Rwanda sponsorship logo, Petro went 2–2 in the conference, dropping one games against each opponent. Their result in the conference phase was largely seen as a disappointment, something that eventually led to the firing of head coach José Neto. Neto, who had was in the fourth season with the team, was officially fired on 21 March. Sergio Valdeolmillos was hired as his successor four days after.

Nick Faust was acquired for the 2024 BAL playoffs, while Anthony Nelson left the team. Petro faced US Monastir in a match-up for the fifth seed, but lost following a Firas Lahyani buzzer beater. In the quarterfinals, they were matched up with AS Douanes in a re-match of the 2023 BAL final. Despite trailing by 20 points at one point in the game, Petro came back to advance. In the semifinal, Petro met the Cape Town Tigers for a third game of the season, and managed to pull ahead in overtime.
