The 2024 KBO League season, officially known as the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League season (Korean: 2024 신한 SOL 뱅크 KBO 리그) for sponsorship reasons, is an ongoing professional baseball season based in South Korea; the 43rd in the history of the KBO League. The league's format and makeup were not changed in the 2024 season from the previous season, with the same ten teams competing; the Kia Tigers, Doosan Bears, Lotte Giants, NC Dinos, LG Twins, Hanwha Eagles, KT Wiz, Samsung Lions, SSG Landers, and the Kiwoom Heroes.[1] The Landers updated their team logo and cap insignia before the 2024 season.[2]
The Twins entered the season as the defending champions from the 2023 season.[3]
The preseason started on March 9 and ended on March 19, with the Bears holding the top spot in the standings; finishing with a record of 8-0-1 (W-L-D) and a flawless win percentage of 1.000.
The regular season started on March 23 and will end on September 28, with each team having played 144 games. Currently, the Tigers are leading the regular season; with a record of 81-50-2 and a win percentage of 0.618.
On July 6, the Nanum All-Stars won the 2024 KBO all-star game against the Dream All-Stars, 4-2. There was a break from July 7–8.
A postseason will then proceed, with the top 5 teams from the regular season playing against each other for a winning championship title in the Korean Series (한국시리즈).
