With ASX earnings season now in full swing, we are entering the second act of any earnings season: dividend season. When an ASX dividend share reveals its latest report card to investors, it also usually reveals what its next dividend payment and franking level will look like, as well as the attached ex-dividend date.

With most of these dividend announcements, the payday usually comes soon after.

But before a dividend payday, there must be an ex-dividend date. That's when the line is officially drawn in the sand, indicating which investors are eligible to receive said dividend and which are not.

The rule is that any investor with shares to their name as of the market close before a company's ex-dividend date gets the paycheque. Anyone who buys on or after the ex-dividend date misses out, with the seller retaining the rights to the dividend.

Next week will see a huge chunk of the ASX 200 trade ex-dividend for their latest payouts.

With that in mind, here are the 24 ASX 200 dividend shares that will go through this process next week.
