The 2024 NRL season was the 117th season of professional rugby league in Australia and the 27th season run by the National Rugby League. The season consisted of 27 competition rounds, followed by a finals series contested by the top eight teams on the competition ladder. The Melbourne Storm were the Minor Premiers, and the Penrith Panthers took their fourth Premiership in a row, and sixth overall.^[1]

The season recorded the highest aggregate and average regular season crowds in first-grade rugby league history.^[2]^[3]

Regular season

For the first time, the NRL season began with a split-round, commencing with a double-header at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, United States, with the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles taking on the South Sydney Rabbitohs followed by the Sydney Roosters facing the Brisbane Broncos^[13] on 2 March 2024. Subsequently, the Sea Eagles became the first side in NRL history to play in three separate countries in one season when they played the New Zealand Warriors in Auckland in Round 6, having already played in the United States and Australia.^[14]
