The 2024 Liga de Ascenso season, is the 21st season of the second most important Uruguayan professional basketball league, since its establishment in 2003. It started on 15 May 2024 with the regular season and ended on 22 October 2024 with the final.
Goes was the champion, defeating Unión Atlética in the final, and returned to the Liga Uruguaya de Básquetbol after being relegated that same year.
Goes was the first team to be promoted, beating Capitol 3–0 in the semi-finals, being undefetead in the play-offs.
Four days later, Unión Atlética achieved promotion by defeating Stockolmo 3–2, in a controversial tie, as the loser played with many absences in the fifth game, due to the fact that several members of its roster traveled to La Banda to play the Liga Sudamericana de Baloncesto with Defensor Sporting.
