The 2024 Missouri Tigers football team represents the University of Missouri in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Tigers are led by Eliah Drinkwitz in his fifth season as their head coach.[1]

The Missouri football team plays its home games at Faurot Field in Columbia, Missouri. The SEC has eliminated the divisions format this season with the additions of the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma.[2]

On December 21, 2023, extensions for defensive coordinator Blake Baker and offensive coordinator Kirby Moore were announced. On December 31, 2023, the University of Missouri announced a contract extension for Eli Drinkwitz through the 2028 season. On January 5, 2024, Baker was hired by LSU to be their defensive coordinator in a contract that would make him the highest paid assistant coach in college football. Defensive end coach Kevin Peoples also followed Baker to LSU. Baker was replaced by South Alabama defensive coordinator Corey Batoon on January 26, 2024, with Houston defensive end coach Brian Early replacing Peoples. Missouri is coming off an 11-2 season and a Cotton Bowl Classic victory over Ohio State in the 2023 season.

Missouri was predicted to finish 6th in the SEC by media covering SEC Football Media Days in Dallas, TX, with Luther Burden III named to the preseason first-team All-SEC. Expectations were high going into the season, as the Tigers had college football playoff aspirations following the success of the 2023 season and many returning starters (such as Brady Cook, Luther Burden, and Theo Wease Jr.), as well as key transfer portal additions.

Missouri began the season ranked No. 11 in both the Preseason Coaches Poll and the AP Poll. The Tigers began the season 4-0 after closer-than-expected wins over No. 24 Boston College and Vanderbilt. Following a bye in Week 5, Missouri was dominated by No. 25 Texas A&M in College Station, losing 41-10. The lopsided loss had major ramifications for the Tigers in the polls, as they tumbled from No. 9 all the way to No. 21 in the AP Poll following the loss. Missouri rebounded with wins over UMass and Auburn to improve to 6-1, but starting QB Brady Cook and starting RB Nate Noel suffered injuries in the Auburn win. Missouri was shutout 34-0 against Alabama in Tuscaloosa in Week 9, in which Cook injured his throwing hand and left the game in the second quarter, after which they completely fell out of the AP Top 25, although they would debut at No. 24 in the College Football Playoff rankings. Backup QB Drew Pyne led the Tigers to victory over Oklahoma in Week 11, improving Missouri to 7-2 and keeping their slim playoff chances alive.
