It was the tenth season of the league since its rebrand from J.League Division 2.
==Overview== For the first time since [[2011 J. League Division 2|2011]], the number of the clubs in the league decreased from 22 to 20.<ref>{{cite news |title=League Structure and Competition Format from 2024 Season Unify the number of clubs in each category to 20 League Cup changed to a knockout competition with participation of all J1, J2 and J3 clubs |url=https://aboutj.jleague.jp/corporate/en/release/league-structure-and-competition-format-from-2024-season-unify-the-number-of-clubs-in-each-category-to-20-league-cup-changed-to-a-knockout-competition-with-participation-of-all-j1-j2-and-j3-clubs/ |access-date=9 February 2023 |publisher=Japan Professional Football League |date=21 December 2022}}</ref>
This season, there were three automatic relegation spots to the [[J3 League]] (one more than the 2023 season) and two clubs gained automatic promotion to the [[J1 League]]. Like the previous season, the winner of the J2 promotion play-off were promoted to the top tier.
==Schedule== The league and match format was announced on 19 December 2023. The league began on 23 February and ended on 10 November in a round-robin format of 38 matches.<ref>{{cite web |title=２０２４明治安田Ｊ２リーグ 大会方式および試合方式について：Ｊリーグ公式サイト（J.LEAGUE.jp） |url=https://www.jleague.jp/news/article/26782/ |website=Ｊリーグ.jp（日本プロサッカーリーグ） |access-date=23 January 2024 |language=ja}}</ref>

==Changes from the previous season== [[Zweigen Kanazawa]] and [[Omiya Ardija]] were relegated to the [[2024 J3 League]], finishing the previous [[2023 J2 League|J2 League]] season as 21st and 22nd-placed teams, respectively.
[[Yokohama FC]] were the sole team to be relegated from the [[2023 J1 League|J1 League]], after only one season in the top flight.
Both [[FC Machida Zelvia|Machida Zelvia]] and [[Júbilo Iwata]] are promoted to the [[2024 J1 League|J1 League]] as champions and runners-up, respectively, of the [[2023 J2 League|previous J2 League season]]. [[Tokyo]]-based Machida will make their debut in the top flight of Japanese football, while Júbilo will make their immediate comeback to the J1. Joining the duo are [[Tokyo Verdy]], who finished 3rd in 2023 and earned promotion after winning the promotion play-offs, thus making their first top flight appearance since [[2008 J.League Division 1|2008]].
[[2023 J3 League|J3]] winners [[Ehime FC]] and runners-up [[Kagoshima United]] were both promoted from the [[J3 League]]. Ehime are returning to the second-tier following two seasons in the J3 League and Kagoshima United will be playing only their second J2 season after five years absence.
From this season, Thespakusatsu Gunma changed their name to [[Thespa Gunma]].<ref>{{cite web |title=２０２４Ｊリーグ クラブ編成：Ｊリーグ公式サイト（J.LEAGUE.jp） |url=https://www.jleague.jp/news/article/26779/ |website=Ｊリーグ.jp（日本プロサッカーリーグ） |access-date=23 January 2024 |language=ja |date=19 December 2023}}</ref>
