The 2024 Florida Atlantic Owls football team will represent Florida Atlantic University in the American Athletic Conference (AAC) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Owls are led by Tom Herman in his second year as the head coach. The Owls will play their home games at FAU Stadium, located in Boca Raton, Florida.

After starting 2–8 overall and 0–6 in conference play, head coach Tom Herman was fired on November 18, 2024. Across parts of two seasons, Herman compiled a 6–16 overall record and a 3–11 conference mark. Special teams coordinator and tight ends coach Chad Lunsford was named the Owls' interim head coach.[1] Lunsford re-hired defensive coordinator Roc Bellantoni, whom Herman had fired a week prior.[2]
