American college football season
The 2024 Washington State Cougars football team will represent Washington State University in the Pac-12 Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season . The Cougars are led by Jake Dickert in his fourth year as head coach. They play home games at Martin Stadium located in Pullman, Washington .
Prior to the 2023 Pac-12 Conference football season , 10 of the teams in the Pac-12 Conference announced that they intended to join other conferences, leaving Oregon State and Washington State as the only remaining conference members. Following several months of legal maneuvering over conference assets and liabilities, all schools reached a settlement in which Oregon State and Washington State retained control over the conference.[ 1] The schools arranged a scheduling partnership with the Mountain West Conference to complete their football schedules.[ 2]
