The 2024 NJ/NY Gotham FC season was the team's 15th season as a professional women's soccer team and eleventh participating in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), the top tier of women's soccer in the United States.
As reigning champions, Gotham opened the 2024 NWSL season against San Diego Wave FC, the previous season's NWSL Shield winners, in the 2024 NWSL Challenge Cup one day before the beginning of the regular season.
Gotham finished the regular season in third place and advanced to the NWSL playoffs, where they defeated Portland Thorns FC in the quarterfinals before drawing against the Washington Spirit in regulation and losing the penalty shootout after extra time in the semifinals.
