{{2024 ACC women's soccer standings}}
The 2024 Florida State Seminoles women's soccer team represented Florida State University during the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. This was the 30th season of the university fielding a women's soccer program, during all of which they have been members of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Seminoles were led by third-year head coach Brian Pensky, and played their home games at Seminole Soccer Complex. The Seminoles entered the season as defending ACC Regular Season, ACC Tournament, and NCAA Tournament champions.{{cite web|url=https://apnews.com/article/florida-state-stanford-womens-soccer-score-9b50df0d4db9b24bef9c346ef242651b|title=Florida State beats Stanford for its fourth women’s soccer national championship — all since 2014|work=AP News|date=December 4, 2023|access-date=December 5, 2023}}
The Seminoles began the season ranked first in the national polls and had three straight wins over non-Power 4 opponents. Their first Power 4 and ranked opponent was number twenty four {{csoc link|2024|sex=women|team=Georgia Lady Bulldogs|title=Georgia}} who they drew 1–1. A win over {{csoc link|2024|sex=women|team=Villanova Wildcats|title=Villanova}} in the same week couldn't prevent them from dropping to number three in the polls. Their final non-conference opponent was rival {{csoc link|2024|sex=women|team=Florida Gators|title=Florida}}, whom they defeated 3–0. They ascended to number two in the polls to start ACC play. They went 2–0–1 in their first three games, defeating Clemson and Syracuse and drawing with ACC newcomers SMU. A match-up with number four Wake Forest gave the Semionles their first loss of the season. They were unable to immedatley rebound and lost their next game to unranked Virginia Tech. They fell to number twenty-two in the polls. However, this was their only blemish during the regular season, as they won their final five ACC games. Highlights included wins over number twenty three Virginia, number four North Carolina, and a rivalry victory over Miami.
The Seminoles finished the regular season 12–2–2 and 7–2–1 in ACC play to finish in a tie for second place. As the third seed in the ACC Tournament, they hosted sixth seed and thirteenth ranked Notre Dame in the First Round. The Seminoles won and advanced to the Semifinals where they advanced via penalty shoot-out against Wake Forest. The Final was a rematch of a regular season foe North Carolina, which the Seminoles won 3–2. This was the Seminoles seventh consecutive ACC tournament title.{{cite web|url=https://seminoles.com/news/2024/11/14/womens-soccer-fsu-begins-national-championship-defense-in-ncaa-tournament|title=FSU Begins National Championship Defense In NCAA Tournament|website=Seminoles.com|publisher=Florida State University Athletics|date=November 14, 2024|access-date=November 15, 2024}} As tournament champions, they received an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and were the first seed in the Florida State Bracket. They defeated {{csoc link|2024|sex=women|team=Samford Bulldogs|title=Samford}} in the First Round, before being upset by {{csoc link|2024|sex=women|team=Vanderbilt Commodores|title=Vanderbilt}} in the Second Round via penalty shoot-out. Florida State ended the season with a 15–2–4 overall record.

The Seminoles finished the season 22–0–1 and 9–0–1 in ACC play to finish in first place. As the first seed in the ACC Tournament, they received a bye into the Semifinals where they defeated Pittsburgh and Clemson to win their fourth consecutive ACC Tournament title.{{cite web|url=https://247sports.com/college/florida-state/article/florida-state-seminoles-soccer-defeats-clemson-to-earn-the-2023-acc-tournament-championship-219641244/|title=ACC Champions: FSU Soccer defeats Clemson, 2-1, to earn the 2023 ACC Tournament Championship|website=247sports.com|publisher=247Sports|first=Chris|last=Nee|date=November 5, 2023|access-date=November 5, 2023}} As tournament champions, they received an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and were the first seed in the Florida State Bracket and the top overall seed in the tournament. They defeated Morehead State in the First Round, {{csoc link|2023|sex=women|team=Texas A&M Aggies|title=Texas A&M}} in the Second Round, Texas in the Third Round, Pittsburgh again in the Quarterfinals, Clemson again in the Semifinals, and Stanford in the Final. Their 5–1 victory in the championship won the team their fourth overall title, all of which have come since 2014. Stanford's 36 game streak of allowing one or fewer goals was snapped and this was the first match where the Cardinal allowed five or more goals in a game since 1996. This was the first national championship match between two undefeated teams and Florida State became the first undefeated champion since Stanford in 2011.{{cite web|url=https://apnews.com/article/florida-state-stanford-womens-soccer-score-9b50df0d4db9b24bef9c346ef242651b|title=Florida State beats Stanford for its fourth women’s soccer national championship — all since 2014|work=AP News|date=December 4, 2023|access-date=December 5, 2023}}
