Mississippi State football schedule: Dates, times, TV channels for 2024 season

The 2024 college football season is shaping up to be a challenging one for Mississippi State football.

Under first-year coach Jeff Lebby, the Bulldogs face six teams ranked in the top 25 of the preseason US LBM Coaches Poll. Lebby takes over for Zach Arnett, who served as the head coach last season and was fired with two games remaining as the Bulldogs went 5-7. Arnett was originally named the coach after Mike Leach died on Dec. 13, 2022, following complications related to a heart condition.
