The 2024 New York Yankees season was the 122nd season for the New York Yankees franchise.
On September 7, the Yankees won their 82nd game of the season, thus extending their streak of winning seasons to 32 years (since 1993). On September 18, the Yankees clinched a postseason berth for the seventh time in the past eight seasons.[2][3] On September 26, the Yankees clinched the American League East division with a win over the Baltimore Orioles. It was their third divisional title in the past six seasons, and their 21st divisional championship overall in franchise history. Additionally, it was their 59th postseason appearance, the most by a single team in Major League Baseball history.[4] They defeated the Kansas City Royals in the American League Division Series to advance to the American League Championship Series (ALCS) for the fourth time in eight years. They beat the Cleveland Guardians in the ALCS in five games to capture their first AL pennant since 2009 and the 41st in franchise history.[5] They faced the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 World Series, losing in five games. This was the first Yankees–Dodgers World Series matchup since 1981 and the 12th in Major League Baseball history.
In off the field news, this was the final season for longtime play-by-play radio announcer John Sterling, who was honored by the team on April 20th.[6] It also marked the only season superstar outfielder Juan Soto would spend with the organization, after an offseason trade from the Padres to the Yankees, as Soto departed the club for the New York Mets, the Yankees' crosstown rival.
