The 2024 Urawa Red Diamonds season is their 74th season in existence and the 23rd consecutive season in the J1 League. As well as the domestic league, they are competing in the J.League Cup. However, they will not be participating in the 2024 Emperor's Cup due to a ban imposed by the JFA following violence by fans in the previous season. They are the first team to be banned from the tournament.[1]
