The 2024 Vancouver Whitecaps FC season was the club's fourteenth season in Major League Soccer, the top division of soccer in the United States and Canada. Including previous iterations of the franchise, this was the 47th season of professional soccer being played in Vancouver under a variation of the "Whitecaps" name.

Having won the 2023 Canadian Championship, the Whitecaps participated in the CONCACAF Champions League for a second consecutive season and fourth time overall. The Whitecaps also participated in the 2024 Canadian Championship looking to win their third domestic cup championship in a row. They also participated in the 2024 Leagues Cup.

The Whitecaps had to play their first six regular season matches without their manager Vanni Sartini, due to him being sent off and suspended for multiple league rules violations during the Whitecaps' last match of the 2023 season.
