The 2024 AFL season was the 128th season of the Australian Football League (AFL), the highest-level senior men's Australian rules football competition in Australia. The season featured 18 clubs and ran from 7 March to 28 September, comprising a 23-match home-and-away season over 25 rounds, followed by a four-week finals series featuring the top eight clubs.

The Brisbane Lions won the premiership, defeating Sydney by 60 points in the 2024 AFL Grand Final. Sydney won the minor premiership by finishing atop the home-and-away ladder with a 17–6 win–loss record. Carlton's Patrick Cripps won his second Brownlow Medal as the league's best and fairest player, breaking the record for most votes polled using the 3–2–1 voting system with 45, and Greater Western Sydney's Jesse Hogan won the Coleman Medal as the league's leading goalkicker.
