The 2024 season was the Wigan Warriors's 44th consecutive season playing in England's top division of rugby league. During the season, they competed in the Super League XXIX, the 2024 Challenge Cup, and the 2024 World Club Challenge.
The 2024 season saw Wigan complete the quadruple, the club's second in its history after the 1993–94 season, and only the fourth modern quadruple in British rugby league. In Sky Sports end of season review, Wigan were praised for their academy, coaching setup, squad hunger, and utilisation of Bevan French. [2] The Guardian described the 2024 squad as one of the all time greats. [3]
The 2024 Wigan team won the BBC Sports Team of the Year Award, seeing the club win for a second time after their first in 1994. [4]
