The 2024 Monterey Bay FC season is the club's third season since their establishment on February 1, 2021.[1]
Background
The club won their first ever U.S. Open Cup match on April 5, 2023, away to Central Valley Fuego FC.[2][3] In the following round Monterey Bay achieved their most important win in club history, upsetting local MLS club San Jose Earthquakes 1–0. It was their first competitive match against a first division club in their history.[4] The club would once again host MLS competition in the US Open Cup, but this time they fell in a penalty-shootout against Los Angeles FC.[5] The match against LAFC featured the club's highest ever attendance, just shy of a sellout with 5,808 fans on hand.[6] Despite a hot start to the season, Monterey Bay would ultimately finish the season in 11th place, once again 2nd to last in the Western Conference and six points away from qualifying for the playoffs.[6]
