The Bulldog's will have bye weeks that comes in week 6 and 12 (October 5 and November 16, respectively).

Texas is one of two new members of the SEC that will join in July 2024,[5] the Bulldogs will play the Longhorns for the first since the 1998 season at the 1999 Cotton Bowl Classic.[3] Mississippi State will travel to Austin, Texas for the first time since the 1992 season, which the Bulldogs won 28–10.[6]

With the two new teams to the SEC (Oklahoma and Texas) and the conference dropping divisions in a new scheduling format,[7] Mississippi State this season will not play notable SEC rivals for the first time in years; Alabama (1947), Auburn (1954), Kentucky (1989) and LSU (1943).[8]

The Bulldogs will host three of their four non–conference games which are against Eastern Kentucky from the UAC, Toledo from the MAC, and UMass, whom is an FBS independent program.
