The 2024 Euroformula Open Championship is a multi-event motor racing championship for single-seater open wheel formula racing cars held across Europe. The championship features drivers competing in Euroformula Open Championship specification Dallara 320 chassis cars. It is the eleventh Euroformula Open Championship season.
The season is scheduled to consist of eight race weekends with three races each. It started in late April and will span until October.
Brad Benavides, a returnee to the series after last competing there in 2021, won the Drivers' Championship with three races to spare, while his teammate Fernando Barrichello won the Rookie Championship at the first race of round 5 after being the only rookie competitor for the first four rounds.
