The 2024 Cleveland Guardians season was the 124th season for the franchise, which competed in the American League of Major League Baseball (MLB). This was the franchise's third season using the name "Guardians" and the first season under manager Stephen Vogt after previous manager Terry Francona stepped down at the conclusion of the previous season. The season opened on March 28, 2024 on the road against the Oakland Athletics and ended on September 29, 2024 at home against the Houston Astros.[1]
On September 19, the Guardians clinched a postseason berth. They became the second American League team after the New York Yankees to clinch a postseason berth in 2024. It was their seventh postseason appearance in the past 12 seasons (2013, 2016–2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024).[2] On September 21, the Guardians clinched their 12th American League Central division title following the Kansas City Royals' loss to the San Francisco Giants. It is their second division title in the past three years.[3] They beat the Detroit Tigers in the American League Division Series in five games to advance to the American League Championship Series for the first time since 2016, where they were beaten by the Yankees in five games.
