Mustangs Announce 2024 ACC Schedule

CHARLOTTE, N.C (ACC/SMU). – The Atlantic Coast Conference announced the upcoming 2024 season schedule for all teams on Wednesday. With the release, SMU has dates set for their conference opponents next season.

The eight-game slate begins with a home contest against Florida State (Sept. 28), part of a four-game homestand to open the year. The Mustangs hit the road for three straight after that with games at Louisville (Oct. 5), Stanford (Oct. 19) and Duke (Oct. 26) to wrap up the month of October.

November opens with home games against Pitt (Nov. 2) and Boston College (Nov. 16). The Mustangs head back on the road for its final away game at Virginia (Nov. 23) before the home finale against Cal on Nov. 30.

The Mustangs will play one weeknight game in the upcoming year, a non-conference game against BYU at home on Friday, Sept. 6, bunched in-between the season opener against HCU (Aug. 31) and 103rd edition of the "Battle for the Iron Skillet" against TCU (Sept. 21).

Times and TV information for all games are TBD and will be announced as they become available.

Murder's Row: TCU, FSU, and UL. At least it's early in the season. Our guys will be pretty fresh.

See we're still short one OOC game.

And it won't be Syracuse; they did have an opening after Army dropped them but they announced 12 games today.

If they finalize a deal with Hawaii, they could make that trip and elect NOT to play a 13th game in the regular 2024 season

I read, going forward, SMU will play Cal the final weekend of every season. As such, we will host a game every other year the Saturday after Thanksgiving (which if fair), and it will always be versus Cal. I like it as that also eliminates the possibility of hosting Clemson/Florida St./Miami that weekend when everyone is gone!

Charleston my sources are saying Hawaii is a no-go

Cal/Stanford should always be played on rivalry week but we'll see if the ACC messes that one up

Michigan State needs a game Oct 12, an open date on our schedule.

The day the 2024 schedule was official, we got a call from the ticket office to renew...now that's how it's supposed to work. Well done.

Cal-Stanford play the weekend before Thanksgiving (and presumably that weekend every year). As for the rest of the conference, I don't know if any of the rivalry games have traditional dates.
