2024 Orlando Pride season



The 2024 Orlando Pride season is Orlando Pride's ninth season in the National Women's Soccer League, the top division of women's soccer in the United States.

Notable events
Two new expansion franchises, Bay FC and Utah Royals, joined the NWSL in 2024. Orlando traded for full protection from both teams in the 2024 NWSL Expansion Draft and therefore had no players selected.

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.

Ahead of the 2024 season it was announced that after four seasons as a league cup competition, the NWSL Challenge Cup would become a super cup between the previous season's NWSL Shield (regular season) and NWSL Championship (post season) winners. As a result, Orlando Pride did not participate in the 2024 Challenge Cup. It made way for the Summer Cup, a similar style tournament including Liga MX Femenil teams.

Emily Moxley also trained with the team in preseason.
