The 2024 season was the second season for St. Louis City SC. It was the club's second season in existence, their second in the top-tier of American soccer, and their second season in Major League Soccer.

Outside of MLS play, St. Louis City SC participated in the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup and the 2024 Leagues Cup.
