The 2024 AFL season is the 128th season of the VFL/AFL competition since its inception in 1897; having entered the competition in 1925, is the 100th season contested by the Hawthorn Football Club. Tasmania, iiNet, and Nissan continue as the club's three major sponsors, as they have done since 2006, 2013, and 2019 respectively,[2][3] while ISC will continue as the club's manufacturer of its on-and-off field apparel.[4] Hawthorn will continue its alignment with the Box Hill Hawks Football Club in the Victorian Football League, allowing Hawthorn-listed players to play with the Box Hill Hawks when not selected in AFL matches.
