The 2024 MAC Football Championship Game is a college football conference championship game played on December 7, 2024, at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. It was the 28th edition of the MAC Football Championship Game and determined the champion of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) for the 2024 season. The game began at 12:00 p.m. EST and air on ESPN.[2][3]

For the first time, the participants were not played by division winners.[4] Following the 2023 season the MAC eliminated divisions and the game will now feature the teams with the best conference records.[5] A new tiebreaker system was established to compare teams with the same conference record.[6] For the first time since 1968, Ohio won the MAC Championship, winning 38–3. Parker Navarro won Offensive Player of the Game with 235 passing yards with 2 touchdowns and 73 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns. Bradley Weaver was Defensive Player of the Game. Gianni Spetic hit a 53-yard field goal and won Special Teams Player of the Game.[7][8]
