Rankings from AP Poll

The 2024 Florida Atlantic Owls football team represented Florida Atlantic University in the American Athletic Conference (AAC) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Owls were led by Tom Herman in his second year as the head coach. The Owls played 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] On December 2, Florida Atlantic announced that Texas Tech offensive coordinator Zach Kittley had been hired as the program's new head coach.[3]
