The 2024 UMass Minutemen football team represents the University of Massachusetts Amherst during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They play their home games at Warren McGuirk Alumni Stadium located in Hadley, Massachusetts and compete as an FBS independent. They are led by head coach Don Brown in his third season since he was rehired, his eighth overall as head coach.

This season marks the Minutemen's last season competing as an independent, as UMass will rejoin the Mid-American Conference (MAC) as a full member beginning in 2025.[1][2]
