The 2024 Big Sky Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Big Sky Conference held from November 6 to November 10, 2024. The five-match tournament took place at South Campus Stadium, home of the regular season champions Montana Grizzlies. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The Idaho were the defending champions.[1] Idaho was unable to defend their title as they lost to Sacramento State, in a penalty shoot-out in the Final.[2][3] This was the third overall title for Sacramento State, all of which have come under head coach Randy Dedini.[4] As tournament champions, Sacramento State earned the Big Sky's automatic berth into the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.
The top six teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference records, and the first and second seeds earned a bye into the Semifinals. No tiebreakers were required as the top seven teams in the conference all finished with unique conference records.[5]
