The 2024 Saskatchewan Roughriders season was the 66th season for the team in the Canadian Football League. It was the club's 115th year overall, and its 108th season of play. The Roughriders qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 2021 following their week 18 win over the Edmonton Elks. However, the team lost to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the West Final.
The 2024 CFL season was the fifth season under general manager Jeremy O'Day, following his extension announcement on October 23, 2023.[1][2] This was the first season under head coach, Corey Mace, after the team's previous head coach, Craig Dickenson, did not have his contract renewed.[2][3]
