The 2024 Washington State Cougars football team represented Washington State University in the Pac-12 Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Cougars were led by Jake Dickert in his fourth year as head coach. They played home games at Martin Stadium located in Pullman, Washington.

Offseason

Prior to the 2023 Pac-12 Conference football season, 10 of the teams in the Pac-12 Conference announced that they intended to join other conferences, leaving Oregon State and Washington State as the only remaining conference members. Following several months of legal maneuvering over conference assets and liabilities, all schools reached a settlement in which Oregon State and Washington State retained control over the conference.[1] The schools arranged a scheduling partnership with the Mountain West Conference to complete their football schedules.[2]
