Teams
The 2024 American Conference Championship Game featured the Tulane Green Wave and the Army Black Knights. This was the third consecutive American title game appearance for Tulane and its third overall. This was the first American title game appearance for Army, which was in its first season in The American.
The site of the game was determined during the final week of the conference season.[a] Tulane's loss to Memphis on November 28, combined with Army's win over UTSA two days later, gave Army the outright regular-season title and hosting rights.[3]
This was the 24th meeting between Tulane and Army; going into the game, the Green Wave led the all-time series 13-9-1.[4]

However, as part of the agreement by which Army became a football member of the conference, the Army–Navy Game is designated as a non-conference game.
