The WAC awards its Commissioner's Cup to the school that performs the best in a countable 14 of the conference's 20 men's and women's sponsored sports from an academic year. Points are awarded by aggregate scoring based on regular season and/or championship finishes depending on the sport and the number of institutions that sponsor the sport. An institution that does not sponsor a specific sport does not receive any points.

Only the regular season was counted for the sports of soccer, volleyball and football (WAC members compete in the football-only United Athletic Conference) during the fall of 2024. For the sport of cross country, points were determined using the WAC Championship results based on the per sport scoring system. Affiliates are used as a placeholder in the standings or championship results but are not scored in the overall Commissioner’s Cup standings. Any team that earned an NCAA AQ from a WAC Championship was also awarded two points.
