The 2024 Chinese Football Association League 2 (Chinese: 2024中国足球协会乙级联赛) was the 35th season of China League Two, the third tier of the Chinese football league pyramid, since its establishment in 1989.

The number of teams in the division was increased from 16 of the previous season to 20. The 2024 China League Two season will, for the first time, introduce two reserve teams of Chinese Super League clubs to participate in the division, through achieving first or second place in the CFA U-21 League.
