The 2024 KBO League season, officially known as the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League season (Korean: 2024 신한 SOL 뱅크 KBO 리그) for sponsorship reasons, was the 43rd season in the history of the KBO League. The league's format and makeup were not changed in the 2024 season from the previous season, with the same ten teams competing; the Kia Tigers, Doosan Bears, Lotte Giants, NC Dinos, LG Twins, Hanwha Eagles, KT Wiz, Samsung Lions, SSG Landers, and the Kiwoom Heroes.[1] The LG Twins entered the season as the defending champions from the previous season.[2] The Landers updated their team logo and cap insignia before the 2024 season.[3]
The preseason started on March 9 and ended on March 19, with the Doosan Bears holding the top spot in the standings, finishing with a record of 8–0–1. The regular season started on March 23 and ended on October 1, with each team having played 144 games. The Kia Tigers were the regular season champions with a record of 87–55–2.
KT Wiz and SSG Landers finished the regular season with an identical record in fifth place, so they played a game against each other on October 1 to determine the final standings. KT won the tiebreaker game and advanced to the playoffs, while the Landers were eliminated.
In the 2024 Korean Series, the Kia Tigers defeated Samsung Lions 4–1 and clinched their record-extending twelfth title.
