The 2024 LSU Tigers football team represented Louisiana State University (LSU) as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Tigers were led by Brian Kelly who was in his third year as LSU's head coach. The Tigers played their home games at Tiger Stadium located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Offseason

On December 27, 2023, offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock was announced as the new offensive coordinator at Notre Dame after two seasons at LSU. ^[1]

On January 3, 2024, Kelly announced that LSU would part ways with defensive coordinator Matt House, cornerbacks coach Robert Steeples, safeties coach Kerry Cooks, and defensive line coach Jimmy Lindsey prior to the 2024 season. ^[2]

On January 5, 2024, Missouri defensive coordinator Blake Baker was hired by LSU to become their new defensive coordinator after two seasons at Missouri, replacing House. Baker was previously the linebackers coach at LSU in 2021 prior to his hiring by Missouri. ^[3]

Schedule

LSU and the SEC announced the 2024 football schedule on December 13, 2023. The Tigers will not play Auburn for the first time since 1991 and Mississippi State for the first time since 1943, when the latter did not field a team during World War II, and the first time in a season when both teams fielded a team since 1925. ^{[4] [5]}
