The 2024 Oregon State Beavers football team represented Oregon State University in the Pac-12 Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by first-year head coach Trent Bray, the Beavers played their home games on campus at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Oregon.

Offseason Prior to the 2023 Pac-12 Conference football season, ten of the Pac-12 Conference members announced that they intended to join other conferences in 2024, 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. The remaining two arranged a scheduling partnership with the Mountain West Conference to complete their 2024 football schedules, and they will meet on November 23 in Corvallis.
