List of Mississippi State Bulldogs football seasons
This is a list of seasons completed by the Mississippi State Bulldogs football team. Representing Mississippi State University, the Bulldogs compete in the Southeastern Conference West Division in the NCAA Division I FBS. Since 1914, Mississippi State has played its home games out of 61,337-seat Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Mississippi. Initially known as the Mississippi A&M Aggies, the program began play in 1895 as an independent before joining the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association the following season. The school did not field a football program from 1897 to 1900. In 1921, Mississippi A&M joined the Southern Conference, where they competed for twelve seasons before joining the SEC where they currently reside.
Davis Wade Stadium is the second-oldest stadium in the FBS.
The Bulldogs won their first and only SEC championship in 1941, and captured a division title in 1998. As of the end of the 2017 season, Mississippi State has played in 22 bowl games, compiling a 13–10 record. They have played in a bowl game in eight consecutive seasons dating back to 2010. The team is currently led by head coach Mike Leach.

Notes
- All wins from 1975 to 1977 were forfeited by the NCAA, except for the 1975 victories over Memphis and North Texas State.
- Overtime rules were added to college football in 1996, thereby eliminating ties.
