In the Western Conference, the Bravos 2024 competed against the Hamburg Sea Devils, Paris Musketeers, Frankfurt Galaxy, Cologne Centurions and Rhein Fire.

Their interconference rivals were the Barcelona Dragons. The Madrid Bravos have already been able to introduce several high-caliber players in their first off-season. In addition to wide receiver William Patterson, edge rusher Alejandro Fernandez also transferred from Rhein Fire to the Spanish franchise.

The Bravos started their franchise history with a win in the Spanish derby against Barcelona. This was followed by a surprising victory at reigning champions Rhein Fire. It was only in the return game two weeks later that the Bravos suffered their first defeat. However, the Bravos continued to impress in the following games and ultimately finished third in the Western Conference with eight wins and four losses.

This earned them a place in the playoffs. There they faced Rhein Fire for the third time in the wild card round. The Bravos were clearly defeated by the defending champions by 10:40.
