The 2024 UMass Minutemen football team represented the University of Massachusetts Amherst during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They played their home games at Warren McGuirk Alumni Stadium located in Hadley, Massachusetts and compete as an FBS independent. They were led by head coach Don Brown in his third season since he was rehired, his eighth overall as head coach. He was fired on November 18, with offensive coordinator Shane Montgomery serving as interim head coach for the final two games.[1]
This season marked the Minutemen's last season competing as an independent, as UMass rejoined the Mid-American Conference (MAC) as a full member beginning in 2025.[2][3]
