The 2024 Louisville Cardinals football team represented the University of Louisville as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Cardinals were led by second-year head coach Jeff Brohm and played home games at the L&N Stadium located in Louisville, Kentucky.
In part due to a tougher schedule, Louisville regressed in Brohms' second year and finished 8–4 in the regular season with a 5–3 conference record. All four loses came by one score and all but one to playoff contenders. Louisville lost on the road at national title runner-up, 14–2 Notre Dame, at home to ACC runner-up, 11–3 SMU, and to 10–3 Miami, who was the second team out of the playoff field. Louisville's final loss came by upset to 3–9 Stanford on a late field goal. [1]
In a Friday night game, Louisville went on the road and upset #11 Clemson 33–21. This was Louisville's first ever win against Clemson and snapped the Tigers 22 game win streak in home night games. Clemson went on to win the ACC and make a playoff appearance. [2]
The Cardinals went on the road to rival Kentucky and won 41–14, snapping a 5 game losing streak in the series. Louisville went on to defeat Washington in the 2024 Sun Bowl to finish the season with a 9–4 record. [3]
Louisville had four players chosen in the 2024 NFL draft. Five other players were signed as undrafted free agents.
