Button will partner Jordan Taylor, Louis Deletraz and Colton Herta aboard the team's #40 Acura ARX-06 GTP, as the four-time Daytona 24 Hours winning squad expands to two cars for the 2024 IMSA SportsCar Championship season.
It will be the 2009 Formula 1 champion's second IMSA outing after making his debut in a JDC-Miller Motorsports Porsche 963 at Petit Le Mans.
Meanwhile, 2022 Indianapolis 500 winner and new Andretti IndyCar signing Ericsson completes the roster for the team’s incumbent #10 entry that features Ricky Taylor, Filipe Albuquerque and Brendon Hartley.
Although Button is still fairly new to IMSA, he has two previous appearances in the Le Mans 24 Hours. Last year racing the Hendrick Motorsports-prepared Chevrolet Camaro Garage 56 entry, he worked closely with Jordan Taylor who was part of the team in a supporting capacity.
He said: "I had my first taste of IMSA last month at Petit Le Mans and loved it. I couldn’t be happier to race at Daytona with such a prestigious team that has achieved so much in endurance racing and especially at Daytona."
Ericsson, who joined Andretti Global’s IndyCar outfit over the offseason after spending the previous four years at Chip Ganassi Racing, will be making his second start at Daytona.
The Swede finished sixth in the former DPi category in the 2022 edition of the endurance classic.
"After getting a taste of the race in 2022, I have been eager to get back on the grid for this legendary race," he said. "It feels fantastic to be racing with one of the best and most successful teams in the sport!
