On January 23, 2024, Angel City announced their preseason roster with the first day of training beginning the following day.[3] On February 14, 2024, Angel City announced that forward Jun Endo had suffered an ACL injury to her left-knee during a preseason training camp in Melbourne, Florida and would be placed on the on its season-ending injury list.[5] Angel City competed in a friendly against NWSL expansion club Bay FC in the inaugural Coachella Valley Invitational in Indio, California on February 20, 2024, which finished 0–0.[6] After the friendly, Angel City announced a revised 31-player preseason roster on February 26, 2024.[7]
Two new kits for the 2024 season were unveiled on February 27, 2024, the black primary jersey named 'Moonlight', and a pink secondary jersey named 'Sol'.[8]
March
On March 6, 2024, Angel City announced they had signed USYNT U-17 midfielder Kennedy Fuller on a three-year deal through 2026 with an option for 2027 through the NWSL's U-18 Entry Mechanism.[9] Angel City announced the following week on March 12, that they had signed draft pick Madison Curry to a one-year contract.[10] The following day Angel City announced their final 26-player roster for the 2024 season, with Christen Press and Jun Endo listed with SEI's and Canadian international Vanessa Gilles remaining on loan at Lyon to round out the roster.[11]
Ahead of the start of the 2024 season, it was reported that the four primary owners of the club had voted to have investment firm Moelis & Co. seek an investor and new owner that would assume control of Angel City's board for a reported valuation of $180 million.[12]
Angel City officially kicked off their third NWSL season with a third consecutive sold out home opener at BMO Stadium against expansion team Bay FC on March 17, 2024. The game saw five players make their debut for Angel City and two of those five, Kennedy Fuller and Gisele Thompson both making their professional debuts in the NWSL. Despite having more shots and possession than their opponents, Angel City ultimately were defeated 0–1 in their first game, failing to comeback after Asisat Oshoala was able to capitalize on a defensive error.[13]
The 2024 NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup was announced on March 20, 2024, with Angel City set to take on the two other California-based teams San Diego Wave FC and Bay FC, as well as Liga MX team Club América in three group stage matches taking place over the Olympic break in the summer with a possibility to advance to the knockout stage.[14]
Angel City earned their first point of the season during their first away game at Orlando Pride on March 22. Former Pride player Meggie Dougherty Howard was able to draw a penalty early in the second half which was converted by Claire Emslie but Angel City ultimately lost their lead when Marta was able to score off a corner kick in the eighty-eighth minute and the game finished as a 1–1 draw. Draft pick Madison Curry also made her professional debut with Angel City, coming on as a substitute.[15] Angel City played their second consecutive away game against Kansas City Current for the first time at the newly opened CPKC Stadium and were ultimately defeated 4–2 after goals from Sydney Leroux and Madison Curry were not able to make up the deficit.[16]
April
At the conclusion of the international break which saw five ACFC players get call ups to their respective national teams,[17] Angel City played a third final consecutive away game against Chicago Red Stars. After making some changes to the starting lineup, Angel City were able to earn their first win of the season and also hand the Red Stars their first defeat of the season in a 0–1 victory off an own goal. The team also recorded their first clean sheet as defenders Megan Reid and Jasmyne Spencer, and veteran goalkeeper DiDi Haračić returned to the starting XI.[18] This game was also Jasmyne Spencer's 175th career NWSL appearance.
On April 20, 2024, Angel City announced they had made two strategic player trades before the closing of the NWSL transfer window.[19] Defender Paige Nielsen would be traded to the Houston Dash in exchange for $50,000 in allocation money and $50,000 in intra-league transfer funds and French international midfielder Amandine Henry would be traded to the Utah Royals in exchange for $75,000 in allocation money.
After three consecutive away games, Angel City returned to BMO Stadium on April 21, 2024 to play the North Carolina Courage in front of a second consecutive sold out crowd of the season. Claire Emslie scored her first brace in the NWSL for Angel City, the first goal scored off a free kick to help secure a 2–1 victory in Angel City's first home win of the season. Sarah Gorden who captained the match, also made her 100th career NWSL appearance.[20] The win saw Angel City enter 7th place in the overall standings, in playoffs contention for the first time the season.
Angel City FC continued to play in BMO Stadium, their home since the team's inaugural season in 2022.
While Angel City's owners have spoken about plans to build a designated training facility for the team, Angel City continues to trains at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, California. They currently use portable buildings on the college campus for offices and locker rooms and a tent for a weight room.[12]
