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 friendy matches in El Salvador, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong and Japan.[1] Following over two years of AutoNation's DRV PNK branding, JPMorgan Chase bought the naming rights to the stadium, renaming it Chase Stadium.[2]
