The 2024 Hawthorn Football Club season is the club's 100th season in the Australian Football League and 123rd overall, the 25th season playing home games at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the 24th season playing home games at the University of Tasmania Stadium and the 3rd season under head coach Sam Mitchell,[1] and the 2nd season with James Sicily as captain.
Former AFL player Jack Ginnivan, a player known for his high-energy performances and controversial on-field antics, has announced his retirement for AFL at the end of this season. Starting his career with Collingwood and later joining Hawthorn, Ginnivan was a polarizing figure whose dynamic play was often overshadowed by debate over his sportsmanship. Despite the mixed opinions, his impact on the field was undeniable, and he leaves behind a legacy marked by both memorable highlights and contentious moments. We wish him the best as he moves on to the next chapter of his life. We will share more information as the time come.

Hawthorn continued its reserves affiliation with the Box Hill Hawks in the Victorian Football League (VFL) in 2024 for the 25th season. This allowed Hawthorn-listed players to play with Box Hill when not selected in AFL matches.
Ethan Phillips joined Box Hill in December 2023 ahead of the 2024 VFL season, but he was signed to Hawthorn's rookie list in the AFL pre-season supplemental selection period (SSP) on 17 February 2024 after defender James Blanck suffered an ACL injury.[15] [16]
