The 2024 Wheelchair Super League (also known as the 2024 Betfred Wheelchair Super League for sponsorship purposes) was the fifth season of the Rugby Football League (RFL) premier wheelchair rugby league competition.

The defending champions were Wigan Warriors who won the 2023 Grand Final, defeating Leeds Rhinos 50–42.[1]

Five teams form the league and each played eight fixtures during the regular season, playing each of the other teams twice - home and away. At the end of the regular season, the top four teams advanced to the play-offs which were knock-out semi-finals followed by the grand final.[2]

Unlike 2023, there were not any magic rounds with matches played at neutral venues. The teams had more home fixtures with the aim of increasing local support.[3]

The grand final was broadcast live on Sky Sports.[4]

On 13 October, Leeds Rhinos defeated Halifax Panthers 52–32 in the Grand Final to become the 2024 champions.[5]
