The 2024 Ultimate Frisbee Association season was the league's twelfth season, but its first with its new name after rebranding from the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL) following a partnership with Sport Dimension Inc. (SDI), owner of the "Wham-O" brand. The season ran from April 26 through August 24. No teams were added, removed, moved between divisions, or rebranded between the 2023 and 2024 seasons. The Minnesota Wind Chill won the championship,[1] the team's first. Boston's Jeff Babbitt won the league's MVP for the second year in a row, despite moving from the New York Empire to the Glory during the offseason. Will Brandt won the Championship Weekend MVP.[2]

The league began streaming one game a week for free on YouTube as part of its "Super Series" program.
