The 2024 season is the Buffalo Bills' 55th in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall, their tenth full season under the ownership of Terry and Kim Pegula, and their eighth under the head coach/general manager tandem of Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane.

This is their first season since 2019 without wide receiver Stefon Diggs, as he was traded to the Houston Texans. The team also released several veterans such as center Mitch Morse, cornerback Tre'Davious White, and safety Jordan Poyer, several players who had been key contributors during the McDermott era, among others.

Due to the roster turnover, many outlets went into the season expecting regression for the Bills. Despite this, the Bills finished the regular season with a record of 13–4, their best since the introduction of the 17-game season in 2021, also improving on their 11–6 record from the previous season.

Highlights of the regular season included a Week 11 win over the then-undefeated Kansas City Chiefs that clinched the Bills' sixth consecutive winning season. Two weeks later, they clinched their fifth consecutive AFC East title, as well as their sixth consecutive playoff appearance since 2019, with a Week 13 win over the San Francisco 49ers. This broke the franchise record set when they won four consecutive division titles from 19881991.[1] Lastly, a Week 17 win over the New York Jets helped the team secure the no. 2 seed in the AFC for the third consecutive year.

In addition, the Bills won all eight of their home games for the first time since 1990 and scored a franchise-record 525 points, surpassing their total from 2020. The team drew an average home attendance of 70,696 in 8 home games in the 2024 NFL season, a 9.8% increase from the previous year.

The Bills defeated the seventh seed Denver Broncos 31–7 in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs to advance to the Divisional Round, where they will host the third seed Baltimore Ravens.
