The 2024 Cornell Big Red football team will represent Cornell University as a member of the Ivy League during the 2024 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The team will be led by first-year head coach Dan Swanstrom and will play its home games at Schoellkopf Field in Ithaca, New York.

Preseason

After the conclusion of the 2023 season, Cornell University's athletics director, Nicki Moore, announced that ten-year head coach David Archer would not return for the 2024 season. At Cornell, Archer compiled a record of 29–71, and the team was not able to record a winning season during that span, a streak existing since the 2006 season.[1] On December 7, 2023, Cornell University Athletics announced the hiring of Dan Swanstrom as head coach to succeed Archer.[2]

Schedule

The Cornell Big Red's 2024 football schedule consists of five away and five home games. Cornell will host Ivy League opponents Yale, Harvard, Penn, and Dartmouth, and will travel to Brown, Princeton, and Columbia. Cornell's non-conference opponents will be rival Colgate of the Patriot League, Albany of the Coastal Athletic Association Football Conference, and Bucknell, also of the Patriot League. Homecoming will coincide with the Big Red's home opener against Yale on September 28.[3][4]

In 2023, Cornell finished 3–7 overall and 2–5 in conference play.
