The 2024 Inter Miami CF season was the fifth season in the history of Inter Miami CF and the 21st season of first-division club soccer in South Florida. The team were in their fifth year as a member of the Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer (MLS). In addition to playing in the MLS regular season, the club participated in the MLS Cup playoffs, in the CONCACAF Champions Cup for the first time, and in the Leagues Cup as defending champions.
The club embarked on an international tour during preseason from January to February that included friendly matches in El Salvador, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong and Japan. Following over two years of AutoNation's DRV PNK branding, JPMorgan Chase bought the naming rights to the stadium, renaming it Chase Stadium.
Miami won the Supporters' Shield with the best regular season record in the league and 74 points, the most in MLS history. Lionel Messi, who scored 20 goals during the regular season, was awarded the Landon Donovan MVP Award for his 20 goals and 36 total goal contributions. The team were eliminated in the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs by Atlanta United FC, who were seeded ninth in the Eastern Conference; the 34-point difference between the two teams was the largest in playoffs history. The second and third matches in the best-of-three series were won by Atlanta.
