The 1924 Frankford Yellow Jackets season was their inaugural season in the National Football League. The team finished 11–2–1 in league play and 17–3–1 overall, enough to finish in third in the league.

Due to Pennsylvania's Blue laws prohibiting football on Sundays, still in force in 1924, the Yellow Jackets played their home games on Saturday, frequently hopping a train to play a back-to-back game on Sunday of same weekend in another state.
