The Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2024 was the 86th edition of the annual chess tournament held in Wijk aan Zee from 13–28 January 2024.[1] The competition followed a similar format to the previous year's edition, taking place at the Dorpshuis De Moriaan in Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands, while round 9 of the Masters section was played at the AFAS Circustheater in The Hague, Netherlands as part of the competition's "Chess on Tour" event.[2]

The Masters section was won by China's Wei Yi, who defeated India's Gukesh Dommaraju by a score of 1.5–0.5 in the finals of a four-player knockout tournament tiebreak.[3][4] India's Leon Luke Mendonca won the Challengers' section, earning a spot in the 2025 Tata Steel Masters event.[5] Both the Masters and Challengers sections were eligible for the 2024 FIDE Circuit.

The event witnessed a four-way tie for first place for the first time since 1989, between the defending champion Anish Giri, Nodirbek Abdusattorov, Gukesh Dommaraju and eventual champion Wei Yi.[6]
