The 2024 York United FC season is the sixth season in the history of York United FC. In addition to the Canadian Premier League, the club competed in the Canadian Championship.

After a 2023 season in which it was operated by Canadian Soccer Business, York United was sold to a new Mexican ownership group, Game Plan Sports, in late November 2023. York United will play the 2024 season at York Lions Stadium, while the new owners will be looking into alternative permanent venues for the future.

On May 21, 2024, manager Martin Nash was relieved of his head coaching duties and replaced by Mauro Eustáquio on an interim basis. On June 4, 2024, York United FC announced Benjamín Mora as their new head coach.
