2024 Kansas City Core Season

The 2024 Kansas City Core Season was the eleventh season of the Core as a club in the Valiant Football League, and was the second season under head coach Brent Vigen. It was the eleventh season of the Core playing their home games at Children's Mercy Park.
Despite a breakout season from second year quarterback Fred Payton, the Core would be guaranteed a losing season following a 31-34 loss in overtime in Week 20 against the Baltimore Capitals. The Core would remain in the hunt for a playoff spot until suffering an upset loss to the league-worst Fargo Oilers in a Week 22 game to close out the season. The Core would finish third in the ACF Central Division and eleventh in the league, missing the playoffs.
