The 2024 Brisbane Broncos season was the 37th in the club's rugby league football history. In round 26 on 31 August at Suncorp Stadium, the Dolphins won the Battle for Brisbane derby 40-6.[1] By the end of that round, the Brisbane Broncos did not have enough premiership points to qualify for the finals. The following week at Suncorp, 2024 minor premiers Melbourne Storm defeated Brisbane 50-12 in the latter's last game of the year.[2]

After Brisbane finished twelfth on the competition ladder, Kevin Walters' position as head coach came under heavy media scrutiny.[3] An internal club review was conducted after the end of the regular season, and Walters was terminated from his coaching position on 26 September 2024.[4]
