The 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup (officially known as the FIFA Intercontinental Cup 2024 presented by Aramco for sponsorship reasons)[1] is the inaugural edition of the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, an annual club association football tournament organised by FIFA. The tournament comprises the six teams that won the previous edition of the continental championships in each FIFA confederation, playing each other in a single-elimination bracket. It will be held from 22 September to 18 December 2024, the first two games will be played in the stadium of a team involved in each match, and the final three (including the final) will be played in Qatar as a neutral venue.[2]

The tournament broadly maintains the format of the previous annual versions of the FIFA Club World Cup, which was expanded and reorganised into a quadrennial tournament with more entrants, with the exception of changes to venues for the initial rounds.[2] The tournament name is derived from the former Intercontinental Cup, that was last played in 2004 between teams from UEFA and CONMEBOL.
