The 2024 Kansas City Royals season is the 56th season for the franchise, and their 52nd at Kauffman Stadium. It is also the team's second season under the management of Matt Quatraro. The season was a major improvement for the Royals; after finishing with only 56 wins in 2023, 2nd-worst in the MLB to the Oakland Athletics, the 2024 Royals won their 56th game on July 2, and won 86 games total, 30 more than the previous season.
On September 14, the Royals secured their first winning record since the World Series-winning 2015 team. On September 27, they clinched a postseason berth for the first time since 2015 when the Minnesota Twins lost to the Baltimore Orioles.[1] They will face the Orioles in the 2024 American League Wild Card Series, a rematch of the 2014 American League Championship Series (ALCS), which the Royals won 4–0.
