The 2024 Tampa Bay Rays season was the 27th season of the Tampa Bay Rays franchise, and their 17th as the Rays. They played their home games at Tropicana Field as members of Major League Baseball's American League East.

The Rays finished with a record of 80–82, good for 4th in the AL East, 14 games behind the division champion New York Yankees. They missed the postseason for the first time since 2018 and finished with their first losing record since 2017.

Due to the damage to Tropicana Field after the season ended, this was the last season for the Rays at Tropicana Field until 2026.

Roster departures On November 2, 2023, relief pitchers Chris Devenski, Jake Diekman, and Robert Stephenson elected free agency.

On November 4, 2023, the Rays placed Jalen Beeks, Christian Bethancourt, Josh Fleming, Tristan Gray, Raimel Tapia, and Cole Sulser on outright waivers.
