2025 American Athletic Conference football schedule announced

By Kevin Kelley -

The 2025 American Athletic Conference (AAC) Football Schedule has officially been announced. Conference play begins on Saturday, Sept. 6 with UAB at Navy.

The 2025 season will be the second consecutive for the AAC as a 14-team conference. The Army Black Knights joined the American last season, while the SMU Mustangs departed for the ACC.

The annual Army-Navy Game will continue to be played the second Saturday in December and it will be considered a non-conference contest. Army and Navy will not meet in the regular-season, but could play in the American Football Championship and then again one week later in the Army-Navy Game in any given season.

Featured non-conference match-ups for each American team in 2025 include Army at Kansas State, North Carolina at Charlotte, BYU at East Carolina, Florida Atlantic at Maryland, Arkansas at Memphis, Navy at Notre Dame, Washington State at North Texas, Houston at Rice, Oklahoma at Temple, Tulane at Ole Miss, Tulsa at Oklahoma State, UAB at Tennessee, USF at Miami FL, and UTSA at Texas A&M.

The 2025 American Athletic Conference Football Championship Game will be played on Friday, Dec. 5 at the home stadium of the team with the highest winning percentage in conference play. The game will be televised by either ABC or ESPN.

Kickoff times and television designations for the first three weeks of the season will be finalized on or before June 1. The remaining kickoff times and TV will be announced six to 12 days prior to the date of the game.

Same with Wisconsin, USC, UCLA, Michigan, Texas, Colorado, Notre Dame, Stanford, and Sam Houston. And waiting on FIU.

Rober As a Michigan Wolverines Fan I have zero issues with them not playing a FCS opponent as long they have two OOC cupcake games with G5 teams at Big House (Michigan Stadium).
