The 2024 FC Cincinnati season is the club's sixth season in MLS, and the ninth season overall for the team including their first three years in the lower-division USL. The club entered 2024 as the defending Supporters' Shield winners, the award given to the team that finishes with the most points in the regular season.

FC Cincinnati home matches are played at TQL Stadium. 2024 is the third season with the club for general manager Chris Albright and head coach Pat Noonan.
