The 2024 Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup, commonly referred to as MSC 2024, was the seventh edition of the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Mid Season Cup, an annual mid-year international esports tournament for the mobile game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang organized by Moonton.

MSC 2024 was the first edition of the tournament bearing the name "Mid Season Cup", formerly known as the "Southeast Asia Cup". The tournament was rebranded to the Mid Season Cup in lieu of the Southeast Asia Cup due to its venue, hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the first tournament in MLBB to be held outside of Southeast Asia and the expansion of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang globally.[1] Also following the previous edition in Phnom Penh, the tournament included new regions apart from Southeast Asia organizations from competing. Furthermore, it has the largest prize pool so far in any MLBB professional tournament in history, boasting a $3 million prize pool with the champions winning a prize of $1 million.[2]

Selangor Red Giants from Malaysia defeated the M5 world champions from the Philippines, Falcons AP Bren, 4–3, in a best-of-seven series. This is the first time that Malaysia has won an international tournament officiated by Moonton.

Defending champions ONIC Esports were eliminated in the group stage, setting a knockout stage that saw Indonesia finish its worst placement in MSC history with both of its representatives getting eliminated in the group stage.[3] This iteration of the tournament showcases the first time that an Indonesian representative has not qualified for the playoffs/knockouts.
