The 2024 Arizona Wildcats football team represented the University of Arizona in the Big 12 Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Arizona was led by first-year head coach Brent Brennan, following the departure of Jedd Fisch to Washington. They played at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Arizona. It was the Wildcats' 125th season overall, and their first year in the Big 12. Despite high regular season expectations off of their previous season, including a #21 ranking in the preseason AP poll, the Wildcats regressed under Brennan, finishing 4–8 overall (2–7 in conference play) and failing to qualify for a bowl game for the sixth time in seven seasons.
