The 2024 Sporting Kansas City season was the 29th season of the team's existence in Major League Soccer and the 14th year played under the Sporting Kansas City moniker. Sporting Kansas City opened the season against the Houston Dynamo on February 24, 2024.[1] In 2024, Sporting KC was one of the eight MLS teams that are participating in the 2024 U.S. Open Cup instead of sending an MLS Next Pro team.[2]
