The 2024 Tampa Bay Rowdies season was the club's fifteenth season of existence, their eighth in the United Soccer League, and sixth in the USL Championship. Including the previous Tampa Bay Rowdies, this is their 31st season of a franchise in the Tampa Bay metro area with the Rowdies moniker. Including the now-defunct Tampa Bay Mutiny, this is the 36th season of professional soccer in the Tampa Bay region.
During the offseason, the Rowdies hired Scotsman Robbie Neilson in November 2023 as their new head coach, after former head coach Neill Collins left the club mid-season to manage Barnsley FC in the EFL League One.
