Sun Belt Announces 2024 Football Cross-Divisional Opponents

NEW ORLEANS — The Sun Belt Conference announced the cross-divisional opponents for the 2024 football season on Thursday. 
 
The Sun Belt is coming off a 2023 campaign in which it defeated a conference-record four autonomy five programs, hosted ESPN’s College GameDay for a second-straight season and produced a conference-record and FBS-leading 12 Bowl Season participants. 

Each of the conference’s 14 programs plays one home game and one away game against a cross-divisional foe each season—and will play every team in the opposite division at least once every four years. In addition to the two cross-divisional matchups, Sun Belt members play six divisional games annually, fostering regional rivalries amongst divisional foes.
 
With 14 member institutions in 10 contiguous states, the Sun Belt is committed to its identity as a regional conference with a divisional model. 
 
The complete 2024 Sun Belt football schedule, including play dates, will be released by no later than March 1, 2024.
