In the 2024 Major League Soccer season, the Columbus Crew enjoyed a highly successful regular season under head coach Wilfried Nancy, finishing 2nd in the Eastern Conference with a club-record 66 points (19-9-6 record) and scoring 72 goals. Forward Cucho Hernández had a standout year, setting club records for goals and contributions.
