The 2024 American League Division Series (ALDS) were the two best-of-five playoff series in Major League Baseball's (MLB) 2024 postseason to determine the participating teams of the 2024 American League Championship Series (ALCS). These matchups were:
- (1) New York Yankees (AL East champions) vs. (5) Kansas City Royals (Wild Card Series winner): Yankees win series, 3–1.
- (2) Cleveland Guardians (AL Central champions) vs. (6) Detroit Tigers (Wild Card Series winner): Guardians win series, 3–2.
The team with the better regular season record (higher seed) of each series hosted Games 1 and 2, and in Cleveland's case, hosted Game 5. The lower seeded team hosted Games 3 and 4.
The Yankees would go on to defeat the Guardians in the American League Championship Series (ALCS) by 4 games to 1, but would lose the 2024 World Series, 4 games to 1, to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
