The 2024 Berlin Thunder season is the fourth season of the Berlin Thunder team in the European League of Football and the second season in the Eastern Conference of the ELF.

Preseason

[edit]

In the 2023 ELF Play-offs and the defeat against Frankfurt Galaxy, the franchise in the German capital began early to regroup the team. The team MVP 2023 and sack-leader of the 2023 European League of Football season was the first announced re-signing. Multiple other signings followed suit, with the most notable new signing of quarterback Jakeb Sullivan.

The first on field workout was held in mid December 2023 in Berlin.
