The 2024 HFX Wanderers FC season is the sixth season in the history of HFX Wanderers FC. In addition to the Canadian Premier League, the club competed in the Canadian Championship. During the off-season, coach Patrice Gheisar signed a two-year contract extension. [1] The season was noteworthy for a difficult beginning, where the team set a league record for worst start to a season, [2] and was eliminated from the Canadian Championship in the first round by losing to the Ligue 1 Québec club CS Saint-Laurent. [3] The Wanderers also set a league record for most red cards in a season, with eight. [4]
The six points earned on away games was tied for the second-lowest amount in CPL history, matching the 1-3-10 away record the HFX Wanderers FC ended with in 2019. Only FC Edmonton fared worse in 2022 with four points.
The average home attendance of 6,058 set a new club record.
