IRVING, Texas – Commissioner Mike Aresco has announced the American Athletic Conference’s 111-game football schedule, including the 56-game conference schedule, as the conference begins a historic season in 2024.
 
The 2024 season will be the second in which The American has 14 teams under its banner, and the first with Army West Point as a football-playing member. 
 
The non-conference portion of the schedule features 10 games against teams ranked in the top 25 of the final Associated Press poll of 2023, including seven games against top-15 teams. American Athletic Conference teams will face No. 3 Texas, No. 5 Alabama, No. 6 Florida State, No. 14 Notre Dame (two games), No. 15 Oklahoma (two games), No. 16 Oklahoma State, No. 18 Kansas State and No. 25 Liberty in non-conference play.
