← 2023 Seasons

The 2024 season is the 124th season for the Oakland Athletics franchise, and the 57th in Oakland. It is the Athletics' final season in Oakland, as the team will relocate to Las Vegas after the owners approved the move unanimously on November 16, 2023. The team will be moving to Las Vegas for the 2028 season after a new ballpark is finished. Before this, the team will take up temporary residency in West Sacramento for three seasons at the Sutter Health Park.

This is the first season for Jenny Cavnar as play-by-play announcer for A's broadcasts on NBC Sports California, thus becoming the first female primary announcer in MLB history.
