2024 American Athletic Conference Football Championship Game

The 2024 American Athletic Conference Football Championship Game was a college football game played on December 6, 2024 to determine the champion of the American Athletic Conference (The American) for the 2024 season. It was the ninth American Athletic Conference Football Championship Game. The game was scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m. EST and air on ABC. The game featured the Tulane Green Wave against the Army Black Knights. Army defeated Tulane 35-14 for its first conference championship in program history.

According to ESPN, the Black Knights' feat of no penalties, turnovers, or punts in the game was the first such performance by an FBS team in at least 20 years.

This was the last championship game played under the "American Athletic Conference" name. On July 21, 2025, the conference dropped the word "Athletic" from its name, becoming the American Conference.

The 2024 American Conference Championship Game featured the Tulane Green Wave and the Army Black Knights. This was the third consecutive American title game appearance for Tulane and its third overall. This was the first American title game appearance for Army, which was in its first season in The American.

The site of the game was determined during the final week of the conference season. Tulane's loss to Memphis on November 28, combined with Army's win over UTSA two days later, gave Army the outright regular-season title and hosting rights.

This was the 24th meeting between Tulane and Army; going into the game, the Green Wave led the all-time series 13-9-1.

Tulane clinched a spot in the game following its win over Navy on November 16.

Army clinched a spot in the game on November 16, one week after its win over North Texas.
