American college football season

The 2024 Valley City State Vikings football team represented Valley City State University in the 2024 NAIA football season as a member of the North Star Athletic Association (NSAA). The Vikings, led by 28th-year head coach Dennis McCulloch, finished the season with a 3–7 record (2–6 in conference play). The team played its home games at Lokken Stadium in Valley City, North Dakota.
While the win-loss record was challenging, the season featured several standout individual performances and marked the final NSAA campaign before transition into the Frontier Conference.

The Vikings opened the season on the road against Minot State Beavers (L 7-38) before recording a road win at Augsburg Auggies (W 24–14). Conference play proved difficult, but VCSU earned victories over the University of Jamestown Jimmies at home (W 38–7) and the Mayville State Comets (W 10–6) to round out the season.
Sophomore DB Emanuel Spiyee earned First-Team All-NSAA honors, and several other Vikings were recognized on All-Conference teams.
