Rankings from AP Poll

The 2024 UCLA Bruins football team represented the University of California, Los Angeles in the Big Ten Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Bruins played their home games at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Former runnings-back coach DeShaun Foster was in his first year as head coach, replacing Chip Kelly.

The 2024 season is the Bruins' first in the Big Ten since departing from the Pac-12 Conference.

The season was highlighted by a strong strength of schedule and poor offensive production. UCLA struggled to score in the redzone throughout the season and only scored more than thirty points in a game once, against Rutgers. They snapped a four game losing streak to Fresno State on the final week of the regular season after a third straight home loss to USC. Overall the Bruins finished 5–7 and 3–6 in the Big Ten Conference, and averaged 46,805 fans at the Rose Bowl.
