The 2024 Sydney United 58 Football Club season is the club's 66th season in existence and 20th consecutive season in National Premier Leagues NSW. In addition to the domestic league, Sydney United participated in this season's edition of the Australia Cup, entering through the preliminary rounds. The season covers the period from 1 January 2024 until 31 December 2024.
Zeljko Kalac was appointed in his first stint with Sydney United, since 2020, replacing Miro Vlastelica in November 2023. The final squad was announced in February 2024. For away fixtures, Football NSW announced that Sydney United fans were not allowed entry into Bicentennial Park South where the club would face Rockdale Ilinden on 14 July.
Before the season, Glen Trifiro announced his retirement after eight years at Sydney United, claiming two state league titles, two state cup titles and a final appearance in the Australia Cup. Shunta Nakamura signed with the club in pre-season from Mt Druitt Town Rangers, having played in J2 League prior to his signing in Australia. The 2024 season is expected to be Sydney United's last season in the National Premier Leagues before the move to the National Second Division next year.
