As of November 23, 2024
Rankings from CFP Rankings

The 2024 Kansas Jayhawks football team will represent the University of Kansas in the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. It will be the Jayhawks' 135th season. Due to construction on David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, the Jayhawks will play their non-conference home games at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas and their conference home games at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. They will be led by fourth-year head coach Lance Leipold. The Jayhawks will look to win a bowl game in back–to–back seasons for only the second time in program history, and to qualify for a bowl game for a third straight season for the first time in program history. The Jayhawks also started the year ranked in the AP Top 25 for the first time since the 2009 season. Once promising, the team went on a five-game losing streak and later lost to in-state rival Kansas State for the sixteenth straight year.
