# 2024 K3 League

The 2024 K3 League is the fourth season of the K3 League as a semi-professional league. It was held from 2 March to 2 November 2024. The 16 participating teams played each other twice in a double round-robin format.
The 15th and 16th-placed teams were going to be automatically relegated to the K4 League, but the 15th-placed team qualified for the relegation play-off instead of the 14th-placed team after the dissolution of K4 League club Daejeon Hana Citizen B was decided.
Runners-up Hwaseong FC turned professional after the season ended and joined K League 2 ahead of the 2025 season.
