The 2024 Chicago Sky season will be the franchise's 19th season in the Women's National Basketball Association, and their first season under head coach Teresa Weatherspoon.

The season will tip off on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, against the Dallas Wings in Dallas.[1]

The offseason was marked by major coaching and roster changes. In October 2023, the team hired Weatherspoon as head coach, replacing interim head coach Emre Vatansever.[2][3] The team also hired Jeff Pagliocca as general manager, separating this role from the head coaching position for the first time.[4] Several starting players from previous seasons including Kahleah Copper, Alanna Smith, Courtney Williams, Astou Ndour-Fall, and Julie Allemand departed in trades or free agency. The Sky signed their own former first-round draft pick Diamond DeShields, and hold the 3rd and 7th picks in the 2024 WNBA draft.
