The 2024 Houston Dynamo season was the 19th season of the team's existence since joining Major League Soccer (MLS) prior to the 2006 season.
2024 was the second season under head coach Ben Olsen and the third season under GM Pat Onstad and technical director Asher Mendelsohn. It was the fourth season (third full season) under majority owner Ted Segal. 2024 saw Houston make the playoffs for the second consecutive year after a 5th place finish in the Western Conference. The Dynamo would fall in the first round of the playoffs to the Seattle Sounders 2 games to 0, losing both on penalties. The Dynamo also competed in the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup after winning the 2023 U.S. Open Cup.
The 54 points set a Dynamo single season record. [1] On July 16, USMNT legend Tim Howard joined the Dynamo and Dash ownership group. [2] The season was also notable for the signing of striker Ezequiel Ponce for a club record transfer fee from AEK Athens. [1]
