The AS Douanes men's basketball team played the 2023 season in the Nationale 1 (NM1) and the Basketball Africa League (BAL). Having won the previous national championship, the Douanes returned to the BAL after one-year of absence. They signed Terrell Stoglin and Chris Crawford for the season as American import players.[1] On 27 September 2023, AS Douanes won its record-setting 11th national championship, thus overtaking ASFA as the Senegalese club with the most NM1 titles.[2]

In the BAL, the Douanes finished second in the Sahara Conference after they won three straight games to make up for a 0–2 start.[3] In the playoffs they became the first Senegalese team to reach the finals, when they defeated Petro de Luanda in the semifinal.[4] They lost in the final to Al Ahly. Pabi Guèye won the BAL Coach of the Year Award.[5]

On 7 May, AS Douanes also won their 5th Saint Michel Cup.[6]
