The 2024 season is the Bruins' first in the Big Ten since departing from the Pac-12 Conference.^[2]^[3]

The season was highlighted by a strong strength of schedule and poor offensive production. UCLA struggled to score in the redzone throughout the season and only scored more than thirty points in a game once, against Rutgers. They snapped a four game losing streak to Fresno State on the final week of the regular season after a third straight home loss to USC. Overall the Bruins finished 5–7 and 3–6 in the Big Ten Conference, and averaged 46,805 fans at the Rose Bowl.
