The 2024 Charlotte 49ers football team represented the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The 49ers played their home games at Jerry Richardson Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, and competed in their second season as a member of the American Athletic Conference (AAC).

The 49ers were led by second-year head coach Biff Poggi for their first 10 games. Poggi was fired two days after a 59–24 loss to South Florida, with tight ends coach/associate head coach Tim Brewster being named interim head coach. ^[1]

Coaching staff

On December 4, offensive line coach and assistant head coach Kyle DeVan accepted the offensive line coach job at his alma mater, Oregon State. ^[2] On December 7 the 49ers announced the hiring of Colorado tight ends coach Tim Brewster for the same position at Charlotte. He also takes on assistant head coaching duties from the departing DeVan. John Morookian made an internal move from tight ends to offensive line. Jason Barnes joined the coaching staff from the analyst pool to take over wide receivers. ^[3] On January 8, North Carolina defensive analyst Ty Greenwood was named cornerbacks coach. ^[4]
