The 2024 BAL season, also known as BAL Season 4, was the 4th season of the Basketball Africa League (BAL). The season began on 9 March 2024 and ended with the final on 1 June 2024, which was played in the BK Arena in Kigali, Rwanda for a fourth consecutive season.[1]

This season the league was expanded to 48 games, and from two conferences to three conferences, as South Africa hosted the inaugural Kalahari Conference.[2]

Al Ahly were the defending champions, having won the previous edition, but were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Al Ahly Ly.[3] Petro de Luanda from Angola won their first BAL championship after defeating Al Ahly Ly from Libya in the final.[4] As winners, Petro de Luanda, earned the right to play in the 2024 FIBA Intercontinental Cup.
