The 2024 Batangas City Tanduay Rum Masters season will be the sixth season of the franchise in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL).[1]

Renamed as the Tanduay Rum Masters, bringing back the moniker of Tanduay Distillers' former PBA team, Batangas City will enter this season coming off back-to-back Division Finals appearances.[2][3] After the Bataan Risers missed the playoffs last season, the Rum Masters are now the sole holder of the longest active playoff appearance streak in the league, having made five consecutive appearances since 2018.

The team will play their home games at Batangas City Coliseum.
