The 2024 UAB Blazers football team represented the University of Alabama at Birmingham in the American Athletic Conference (AAC) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Blazers were led by Trent Dilfer in his second year as the head coach. The Blazers played their home games at Protective Stadium, located in Birmingham, Alabama. Despite some solid offensive performances, the team was heavily weighed down by their poor defensive play throughout the season. They gave up 30 or more points in 8 out of their 9 losses and notoriously struggled to contain the pass.
