The 2024 Orlando City SC season was the club's 14th season of existence in Orlando and 10th season as a Major League Soccer franchise, the top-flight league in the United States soccer league system. Orlando also played in two other competitions: the Leagues Cup and the CONCACAF Champions Cup. As a result of a decision by Major League Soccer, Orlando City did not contest the U.S. Open Cup for the first time in club history.

In December 2023, head coach Óscar Pareja signed a two-year contract extension through 2025.[1] Executives Luiz Muzzi and Ricardo Moreira also signed new two-year contracts in February 2024.[2]

After four-and-a-half seasons under the Exploria sponsorship name, Orlando City's home stadium was rebranded as Inter&Co Stadium ahead of the 2024 season.[3]

Orlando introduced a new road jersey called the "Legacy Kit" in celebration of the team's 10th year in MLS. It featured a commemorative crest based on the previous USL franchise's three-lion design, as well as red accents in recognition of Orlando City's original red jersey. The words "honor thy history" are written on the inside of the neckline and a jock tag at the bottom of the shirt carries the Roman numeral X.[4]
