The 2024 New England Revolution season is the club's 29th season in existence, and their 29th consecutive season playing in Major League Soccer, the top flight of American soccer. The season began on February 21 when the club defeated Club Atlético Independiente in the first round of the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup. The Revolution will also play in the 2024 Leagues Cup.
Background
The 2023 season was the Revolution's 28th season of existence, and their 28th season in MLS, the top tier of American soccer. The season began on February 25 when the club began their play in the 2023 Major League Soccer season, and the season concluded on October 21. The Revolution finished the year 15–9–10 (55 points) leaving them 5th in the Eastern Conference. They lost to Philadelphia Union in the first round of the 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs. In the 2023 U.S. Open Cup the Revs entered in the Third Round, defeating Hartford Athletic 2–1, before bowing out in the Round of 32 to Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC. The season was marred by the mid-season suspension,[1] and later resignation,[2] of head coach Bruce Arena. On December 19, 2023, the team announced that it had hired Caleb Porter to be the next head coach.[3]

U.S. Open Cup
The New England Revolution will not participate in the U.S. Open Cup this year. On December 15, 2023, Major League Soccer announced that its teams would not participate in the 2024 edition of the U.S. Open Cup due to fixture congestion. This would have been the first year since its inception that MLS teams would not participate in the tournament.[15] The league intended to send reserve teams from MLS Next Pro instead, but the request was denied by the United States Soccer Federation on December 20.[16] On March 1, 2024, it was announced that 19 MLS and MLS Next Pro teams will participate. The Revs are not one of the 19, nor are MLS Next Pro team Revolution II.[17]
Leagues Cup
The Revolution will enter the 2024 Leagues Cup in the group stage. On February 1, the team was drawn in a group with Nashville SC and Mazatlán F.C.[18]
