The 2024 Orlando City SC season is 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 will also play in three other competitions: the U.S. Open Cup, Leagues Cup and the CONCACAF Champions League.

In December 2023, head coach Óscar Pareja signed a two-year contract extension through 2025.[1]

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.[2]
