The 2024 USF Pro 2000 Championship presented by Continental will be the 26th season in series history and the second under the USF Pro 2000 moniker after the three championships below the Indy NXT series were rebranded in 2023 following the acquisition of Indy NXT by Penske Entertainment.
Series news
The scholarship for the champion was slightly increased to $681,500. All three ladder series organized by Andersen Promotions will end their long-running affiliation with Cooper Tires as supplier and presenting partner. Continental will be the new tire supplier and title partner of the series.
