The 2024 NXT: New Year's Evil was the fourth annual NXT: New Year's Evil professional wrestling television special produced by WWE, and fifth New Year's Evil overall. It was held primarily for wrestlers from the promotion's NXT brand division. The event took place on January 2, 2024, at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida and aired live as a special episode of WWE's weekly television series NXT on the USA Network. The broadcast was part of WWE's week-long programming of New Year's-themed shows called New Year's Knockout Week. This episode also marked NXT's return to livestreaming on the WWE Network in the United Kingdom after previously airing on TNT Sports since January 2020.
Six matches were contested during the live broadcast. In the main event, Trick Williams defeated SmackDown's Grayson Waller to retain his Iron Survivor Challenge title opportunity for the NXT Championship; Williams was originally scheduled to challenge champion Ilja Dragunov on the show, but due to Dragunov being injured, the match was postponed. In another prominent match, which opened the show, Lyra Valkyria defeated Blair Davenport to retain the NXT Women's Championship, which was Davenport's Iron Survivor Challenge title opportunity.
This event is also notable for featuring Tiffany Stratton's final televised match on NXT, as she only appeared in a few segments before signing with SmackDown the following month.
