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. However, no other Missouri players were named to any of the first, second, or third All-SEC team.

Missouri began the season ranked No. 11 in both the Preseason Coaches Poll and the AP Poll.
