The 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship was a motor racing championship for Formula One cars and was the 75th running of the Formula One World Championship. It was recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the governing body of international motorsport, as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. The championship was contested over a record twenty-four Grands Prix held around the world.

Drivers and teams competed for the titles of World Drivers' Champion and World Constructors' Champion, respectively. Defending Drivers' Champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing started off the season with seven wins in the opening 10 races, but was pressured by McLaren driver Lando Norris for the rest of the season after his RB20 fell behind Norris's MCL38 in terms of performance. Verstappen performed consistently at the front of the field and maintained his points advantage to win his fourth consecutive Drivers' Championship title at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, while McLaren surpassed Red Bull to achieve their ninth Constructors' Championship title at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, ahead of Ferrari. With their first Constructors' Championship victory in 26 years, McLaren became the first constructor other than Red Bull and Mercedes to win the title since Brawn in 2009.
