The 2024 Boston Red Sox season was the 124th season in Boston Red Sox franchise history, and their 113th season at Fenway Park. The team was led by Alex Cora, in the fourth season of his second stint as the team's on-field manager,[c] while Craig Breslow was in his first season as the team's Chief Baseball Officer.[7] The team's regular season began on March 28, with a road game against the Seattle Mariners, and concluded on September 29, with a home game against the Tampa Bay Rays.[8]
Despite holding a 53–43 record and being two games up on a playoff spot at the All-Star Break,[9] the Red Sox struggled throughout the second half and were eliminated from playoff contention on September 25, and ultimately finished in third-place of the American League East with a record of 81–81, an improvement from their 78–84 record during the 2023 season. The team was marred by poor defensive play throughout the season, leading the American League in errors.[10] Average attendance at home games was 32,839.[11]
