The 2024 Celebration Bowl was a college football bowl game played on December 14, 2024, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The ninth annual Celebration Bowl featured South Carolina State, champions of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), and Jackson State, champions of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). The game began at approximately 12:00 p.m. EST and aired on ABC. Sponsored by Cricket Wireless, the game was officially known as the Cricket Celebration Bowl.

The SWAC and MEAC are the two NCAA Division I conferences of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). The Celebration Bowl thus serves as a de facto black college football national championship.

The Celebration Bowl was the only one of the 2024–25 bowl games played by teams from the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The NCAA had a 24-team bracket tournament to determine a champion for the 2024 FCS football season.
