2024[]
The 2024 Super Jr. Tag League featured twelve teams divided across two blocks – the first time this format was been used since the tournament switched to a round-robin tournament – with the top two teams facing in the finals. Guest wrestlers include Dragon Dia from Dragon Gate, Ninja Mack from Pro Wrestling Noah, and Captain Suicida from CMLL. The tournament winners advance to an IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match at Wrestle Kingdom 19. In case of a tie between two or more top-ranked teams in the block in terms of points, tiebreakers were held and the winner of the tournament would be decided. Block matches were held from October 24 to November 2, 2024 and the final took place at the 2024 edition of Power Struggle.
