The 2024 Lexington SC season was the club's second season since their establishment on October 5, 2021.[1] The club competed in their second season in USL League One and was part of the inaugural USL1 in-season tournament. They made their 2nd ever appearance in the U.S. Open Cup on March 19, falling 3–4 to amateur USL League Two side Vermont Green FC in what was the first-ever cup match played in the state, and LSC became the first professional club to play a competitive match in Vermont.
