2024 Connecticut Stampede Season

2024 ACF Coastal Division Champions.
The 2024 Connecticut Stampede Season was the eleventh season of the Stampede as a club in the Valiant Football League, and was the eleventh and final season under head coach Neal Jack. It was the eleventh season of the Stampede playing their home games at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field.
With a Week 22 victory on Sunday Night Football over division rivals the Orlando Crusaders, the Stampede would secure a winning season and a playoff berth. However, the Stampede would lose a 45-48 shootout to the Angel City Swans in the Elimination Finals Round, ending their playoff run. Following the game, Stampede head coach Neal Jack would announce his retirement, effective immediately, marking the end of his eleven year-long tenure as the club's head coach.
