2024 Edmonton Elks season

The 2024 Edmonton Elks season was the 66th season for the team in the Canadian Football League and their 75th overall. The Elks improved upon their 4–14 record from 2023, but were eliminated from playoff contention for the fourth consecutive season.

The team's 2024 season was scheduled to be the third consecutive under head coach and general manager, Chris Jones. However, after beginning the season 0–5, Jones was fired and Jarious Jackson was named interim head coach while Geroy Simon was named interim general manager.

The franchise came under private ownership in August when longtime season ticket holder Larry Thompson purchased the team.

The Edmonton Elks drew an average home attendance of 20,499 in 2024.
