All statistics correct as of March 10, 2024.

The 2024 season will be Kaya F.C.–Iloilo's 6th season in both the Philippines Football League and Copa Paulino Alcantara, having won both in the previous season. The club will also compete in AFC competitions after winning the 2023 Copa Paulino Alcantara.[1]

The previous season saw the club complete a historic title sweep across all competitions, winning the PFL, Copa, PFF Women's League, and PFF National U19 Championship. Then-manager Colum Curtis left the club at the end of 2023 after his contract expired,[2] with assistant coach Yu Hoshide taking over for the season. The club saw a considerable player overhaul with the club attempting to form a new core. Veterans Arnel Amita and Eric Giganto left, as well as star player Daizo Horikoshi.[3] A host of midseason signings also departed the club - Ricardo Sendra and Curt Dizon went to United City, Abou Sy went to Dynamic Herb Cebu, and Quincy Kammeraad went to newcomers Taguig. The club signed Shuto Komaki and Kaishu Yamazaki formerly of the Singapore Premier League,[4] Eric Esso from Hearts of Oak,[5] as well as the signing of former Pachanga Diliman defender Park Yi-young who had recently been let go from 2. Bundesliga side FC St. Pauli.[6]
