The 2024 season is the Pittsburgh Steelers' 92nd season in the National Football League (NFL), their third under general manager Omar Khan and their 18th under head coach Mike Tomlin.

Following their win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2, the Steelers started 2–0 for the first time since 2020, while allowing their fewest points (16) over their first two games since 2007. The team meanwhile scored its fewest points (31) in a 2–0 start since 1936. In earning another win in Week 3 over the Los Angeles Chargers and moving to 3–0, the Steelers held each of their first three opponents to 10 points or fewer for the first time since 1973.
