The 2024 League of Ireland Premier Division season was Bohemian Football Club's 134th year in their history and their 40th consecutive season in the League of Ireland Premier Division since it became the top tier of Irish football. Bohemians participated in the FAI Cup and also competed in the Leinster Senior Cup during preseason. Bohemians parted ways with manager Declan Devine after four games of the league season with Alan Reynolds taking the reins subsequently.

Bohemians home shirt for 2024 was designed by in-house club designers and produced in Ireland by kit partner OâÂÂNeills. The jersey commemorates the 100th anniversary of Bohemians winning the first national league title in the club's history in what was then called the Football League of the Irish Free State.
The 2024 jersey retains the club's famous red and black stripes but with the one-off inclusion of a Celtic knotwork pattern as was popular during the infancy of the Irish Free State and following the Gaelic Revival of the 19th century. The jersey also includes the club's name in the Irish language in a traditional typeface on the back, the aforementioned 1924 league win is commemorated on a hem tag on the front, and a woven v-neck collar with âÂÂCéad bliainâ (100 years) inscription.
Bohs away kit was released just ahead of the season's start and pays tribute to Thin LizzyâÂÂs famous 1977 gig at Dalymount Park, which was Dublin's first major rock festival. The strip features a quote from The Boys Are Back in Town on the neck, black rose detailing throughout the body, as well as sleeve trims, and an embroidered hem tag of an original concert poster on the lower front. Shirt sales will raise funds to provide access for underprivileged children in Dublin.
Bohs retained their Dublin Bus kit from the two previous seasons for the first series of games. The kit takes inspiration from Dublin Busâ iconic seat fabric design.
In April, Bohs released their official third kit in conjunction with Irish Congress of Trade Unions. Liberty Hall, home of SIPTU is at the forefront of the body of the jersey, alongside the Better in a trade union campaign message. The jersey also features trade union leader James ConnollyâÂÂs famous quote: âÂÂOur demands most moderate are â we only want the earth.â An embroidered hem tag on the lower front of the jersey features a trade union banner with a red and black version of the Starry Plough flag.
