The 2024 Parramatta Eels season was the 78th season in the club's history and the 27th in the National Rugby League. Coached by Brad Arthur for his eleventh consecutive season, and co-captained by Clinton Gutherson and Junior Paulo, the team competed in the 2024 NRL Telstra Premiership during the regular season and also participated in the Pre-season Challenge in February during their pre-season fixtures.

After losing several key players the previous season from their Grand Final defeat in 2022, Parramatta had a very quiet off-season in the lead up to 2024. Josh Hodgson and Andrew Davey retired at the conclusion of the 2023 season, and Jack Murchie made a move to the English club Huddersfield Giants. Waqa Blake and Samuel Loizou both did not receive contract extensions and were moved to St Helens and Wests Tigers (train-and-trial contract) respectively.

The Eels signed Manly Warringah Sea Eagles duo Kelma Tuilagi and Morgan Harper for the 2024 season. Uinitoni Mataele and Tevita Taumoepenu both received top 30 contracts, while Jock Brazel, Charlie Guymer, Luca Moretti, Ethan Sanders and Sam Tuivaiti made up the development-listed players. J'maine Hopgood was the only Parramatta player to receive a call-up to the 2024 All Stars match.^[1]

Parramatta lost 16–38 in their opening match of the pre-season against the Canberra Raiders. The Eels were captained by Shaun Lane and fielded a very youthful team, only featuring a number of first-grade players. They led the match 16–10 early in the second half before the Raiders scored 28 unanswered points to take out the match.^{[2] [3]}

In their second and final pre-season match against the Gold Coast Titans in Ipswich, the Eels were welcomed with the return of an almost full-strength team and leaving victors 16–26. Parramatta led the match 8–26 mid-way through the second half, before resting several starting players in preparation for the home and away season, which started in a fortnight. With the result, the Eels finished 8th in the Pre-Season Challenge on 15 points.^[4] The match also saw Eels winger, Maika Sivo receive a 3-match ban for a high tackle on Titans five-eighth Alexander Brimson.^[5]

Parramatta opened the season with a 26–8 victory over the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in front of a record regular season crowd of 29,171 at CommBank Stadium.^[6] The Eels faced reigning premiers and arch rivals, Penrith Panthers at BlueBet Stadium in the second round of the season. Parramatta lost winger Bailey Simonsson in the opening minutes of the match, leaving forward Kelma Tuilagi have to cover the left-side edge for the remainder of the match. Despite the injury, Parramatta led the Panthers 16–18 at half time, but ultimately fell short in the second half, defeated 26–18.^[7]

In March 2024, Jirah Momoisea and Ky Rodwell were both released from their contracts.^{[8] [9]}

On 20 May 2024, Arthur was sacked by the board after winning only one out of the previous seven games, assistant Trent Barrett took over as interim coach for the remainder of the season.^{[10] [11]}

On 8 July 2024, the club announced that Jason Ryles would be appointed as the new head coach of the side on a four-year deal starting in 2025.^[12]

The club would manage to avoid the wooden spoon in the final game of the regular season after defeating the Wests Tigers 60–26 in the "spoon bowl" game. Due to other results going their way, Parramatta would finish 15th on the table.^[13]

On 10 September 2024, Reagan Campbell-Gillard won the Ken Thornett Medal.^[14]

Mitchell Moses (Australia), Maika Sivo (Fiji) and Makahesi Makatoa (Cook Islands) all received call-ups for their respective nations for the 2024 Pacific Championships.^{[15] [16]} Jake Tago and Blaize Talagi were also selected to represent Samoa in their tour of England.^[17]
