The 2024 Mountain West Conference football season will be the 26th season of college football for the Mountain West Conference. It is part of the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. 12 teams will compete in the conference during the season. The season will begin on August 24, 2024, and conclude with the Mountain West Conference Football Championship Game in December 2024. The full season schedule was released on February 29, 2024. [1]
For the 2024 season, the Mountain West Conference signed a scheduling agreement with Oregon State and Washington State - the only remaining members of the Pac-12 Conference. All Mountain West teams will play a game against either Oregon State or Washington State. The games will not count toward conference standings, and neither Pac-12 school is eligible for the Mountain West Conference championship game. [2]
On July 1, the Mountain West Conference announced a new broadcasting deal with TNT Sports, with several games to be broadcast on TNT's truTV channel as well as their streaming service Max. [3]
The Preseason Media Poll was released July 10, 2024. Boise State was selected as the preseason favorite to claim the 2024 Mountain West football regular-season title. [4]
