The 2024 UNLV Rebels football team represented the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) as a member of the Mountain West Conference (MW) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by Barry Odom in his second and final year as head coach for first 13 games of the season and Del Alexander as interim head coach for the team's bowl game, the Rebels compiled an overall record of 11–3 record with a mark of 6–1 in conference play, tying for second place in the MW. UNLV advanced to the Mountain West Championship Game, where the Rebels lost to Boise State for the second consecutive season. UNLV was then invited to the LA Bowl, defeating California. The team played home games at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
On September 29, the Rebels were ranked in the AP poll for the first time in program history.[1] With their win over Oregon State on October 19, the Rebels were bowl eligible in consecutive seasons for the first time. The win also gave the program their first consecutive winning seasons since their now-forfeited 1983 and 1984 campaigns.
On December 8, Odom accepted the role of head coach for the Purdue Boilermakers starting in 2025.[2] He left UNLV with a 19–8 record. UNLV's bowl victory over California gave the Rebels their 11th victory, the most in a season since 1974 and most since becoming a member of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).
