The 2024 East Texas A&M Lions football team represented East Texas A&M University as a member of the Southland Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The Lions were led by second-year head coach Clint Dolezel and played their home games at the Ernest Hawkins Field at Memorial Stadium in Commerce, Texas.
The team started the season as the Texas A&M–Commerce Lions, reflecting the school's former name of Texas A&M University–Commerce; the university officially changed its name on November 7, 2024.[1]
This season marked East Texas A&M's third year of a four-year transition period from Division II to Division I. As a result, the Lions were not eligible for NCAA postseason play until the 2026–27 season.[2]
