The 2024 season was the 15th season for the Indian Premier League franchise Chennai Super Kings. They were one of the ten teams competed in the 2024 Indian Premier League. They were the defending champions, having won their 5th IPL title after defeating Gujarat Titans in the rain-affected 2023 Indian Premier League final. ^[1] The Chennai Super Kings drew an average home attendance of 36,442 in the IPL in 2024.

Ahead of the 2024 season, MS Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad. ^[2] After their 7th loss on 18 May 2024, Chennai was eliminated from the 2024 Indian Premier League. ^{[3] [4]} They finished the League stage at the 5th place with 7 wins and 7 losses, garnering 14 points.

The team slightly improved on their home form winning 5 out of 7 in the league stage as compared to 4 in the previous year's title winning campaign. However, CSK's lack of away successes prevented the team from qualifying for the playoff by the barest of margins via NRR. ^[5]
