The 2024 Arizona Diamondbacks season was the franchise's 27th season in Major League Baseball and their 27th season at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona, as members of the National League West. They were managed by Torey Lovullo in his eighth season with the franchise. They entered the season as the defending National League champions and runner-ups of the 2023 World Series. The Diamondbacks also opened this season with their best opening game in franchise history with a 16–1 blowout win at home over the Colorado Rockies, with 14 of those runs coming in the third inning.
On August 25, the Diamondbacks had a seven game lead on a wild card spot. However, the Diamondbacks faltered down the stretch, and on September 30, the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets played a make-up doubleheader. With the Diamondbacks needing one team to sweep the two games in order to claim one of the two remaining National League playoff spots, the Diamondbacks were eliminated from postseason contention after they split their doubleheader. All three teams ended with the same 89–73 record, with the Diamondbacks losing the tie-breaking season series to both the Braves and the Mets.[1]
