The 2024 Mississippi State Bulldogs football team will represent Mississippi State University in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Bulldogs will be led by first-year head coach Jeff Lebby.[1][2][3] The team will play its home games at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Mississippi.

Schedule

Mississippi State and the SEC announced the 2024 football schedule on December 13, 2023.[3][4] The 2024 Bulldogs' schedule consists of 7 home games and 5 away games for the regular season. Mississippi State will host four SEC conference opponents Arkansas, Florida, Missouri and Texas A&M at home and will travel to four SEC opponents, Georgia, Ole Miss (Egg Bowl), Tennessee and Texas to close out the SEC regular season on the road. The Bulldog's will have bye weeks that comes in week 6 and 12 (October 5 and November 16, respectively).

Texas is one of two new members of the SEC that will join in July 2024,[5] the Bulldogs will play the Longhorns for the first since the 1998 season at the 1999 Cotton Bowl Classic.[3] Mississippi State will travel to Austin, Texas for the first time since the 1992 season, which the Bulldogs won 28–10.[6]

With the two new teams to the SEC (Oklahoma and Texas) and the conference dropping divisions in a new scheduling format,[7] Mississippi State this season will not play notable SEC rivals for the first time in years; Alabama (1947), Auburn (1954), Kentucky (1989) and LSU (1943).[8]

The 2024 season's out of conference opponents represent the Big 12, MAC and the United Athletic (UAC) conferences, along with an FBS independent team. The Bulldogs will host three of their four non–conference games which are against Eastern Kentucky from the UAC, Toledo from the MAC, and UMass, whom is an FBS independent program. The Bulldogs will travel to Arizona State for the first time in program history on September 7, 2024.[9] The three other nonconference teams that Mississippi State will face in 2024, are also first ever meetings in program history.[2]
