2024 HKFC Soccer Sevens, officially known as The HKFC Standard Chartered Soccer Sevens due to sponsorship reasons, was the 21st edition and the 25-year anniversary edition of the HKFC Soccer Sevens tournament.[1] It was the first edition of the tournament to have a women's competition.[2]

Unlike with previous editions, which happened after the end of the domestic season, the 2024 edition took place during the final weekend of the 2023–24 Hong Kong Premier League season. A potential title-deciding match between Kitchee and Lee Man was scheduled for the same weekend as the Soccer Sevens, leading to those teams pulling out of the competition.[3]
