The2024 Michigan State Spartans football team representedMichigan State University as a member of theBig Ten Conference during the2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Spartans played their home games atSpartan Stadium located inEast Lansing, Michigan, and were led by first-year head coachJonathan Smith. The Spartans finished the season 5–7, 3–6 inBig Ten play to finish in a tie for 12th place. On November 12, 2025, the 5 wins were vacated as a result of an NCAA settlement over recruiting violations during Mel Tucker's tenure.

Following the removal and eventual firing of head coachMel Tucker after the first two games of the2023 season following disclosures relating to alleged sexual harassment,^[2] defensive backs coachHarlon Barnett was named the interim coach and former head coachMark Dantonio agreed to return as the team's associate head coach for the remainder of the season.^[3] On November 26, the school namedOregon State head coach Jonathan Smith the team's new head coach for the 2024 season.^[4]

After beatingPrairie View A&M on September 14, the Spartans moved to 3–0 on the season. Smith became the first MSU head coach to start 3–0 in his debut season with the team sinceMark Dantonio in2007. However, the Spartans finished the season by losing seven of the remaining nine games and failing to be eligible for a bowl game for the third consecutive season. This had not occurred since the2004 through2006 seasons. The Spartans also lost to a first-yearMichigan head coach for the first time since1948.
