The 2024 Minor League Cricket season (branded as the 2024 Minor League Cricket championship presented by YASH Technologies for sponsorship reasons and sometimes shortened to 2024 MiLC) was the fourth season of Minor League Cricket, established by USA Cricket (USAC) and Major League Cricket (MLC) in 2019. The league tapped YASH Technologies as title sponsor, replacing previous sponsor Sunoco, with IRA Sportswear tapped as the league's official apparel partner. The season was hosted over 19 venues across the United States from August 30 to October 6, 2024.
The tournament was won by the Chicago Kingsmen, who defeated the Bay Blazers in the finals by 4 wickets, with Saad Ali of the Kingsmen winning the award for the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the tournament. The now-defunct Dallas Mustangs were the defending champions.
