The 2024 Toronto Argonauts season is the 66th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 151st year of existence. The Argonauts qualified for the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year with a win on October 11 over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.[1] The team will attempt to win their league-leading 19th Grey Cup championship.

The 2024 CFL season is the fourth season for head coach Ryan Dinwiddie and the fifth season for Michael Clemons as general manager.[2][3]

On July 11, 2024, team owners, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE), parted ways with team president, Bill Manning, and stated that Clemons would report directly to MLSE President, Keith Pelley.[4]
