The 2024 Chicago Sky season is the franchise's 19th season in the Women's National Basketball Association, and their first season under head coach Teresa Weatherspoon.

The season tipped-off on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, against the Dallas Wings in Dallas. [1]

The offseason was marked by major coaching and roster changes. In October 2023, the team hired Weatherspoon as head coach, replacing interim head coach Emre Vatansever. [2] [3] The team also hired Jeff Pagliocca as general manager, separating this role from the head coaching position for the first time. [4] Several starting players from previous seasons including Kahleah Copper, Alanna Smith, Courtney Williams, Astou Ndour-Fall, and Julie Allemand departed in free agency and trades. The Sky signed their own former first-round draft pick Diamond DeShields. Acquiring the 3rd and 7th picks in the 2024 WNBA draft through trades, they drafted high-profile college stars Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese.
