The 2024 Arizona State Sun Devils football team represented Arizona State University as a member of the Big 12 Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They were led by Kenny Dillingham in his second year as their head coach. The Sun Devils played their home games at Mountain America Stadium located in Tempe, Arizona. The season was the Sun Devils' first year in the Big 12.
Despite being projected to finish last in the Big 12, largely due to a 3–9 record the previous season, Arizona State completely flipped expectations by winning the conference championship against the Iowa State Cyclones, earning both their first trip to the College Football Playoff and their first conference title since 2007. The Sun Devils were picked to finish 16th (last) in the Big 12 preseason media poll. Coach Kenny Dillingham famously used this as motivation, tacking the poll results to the team's bulletin board.
