The American Athletic Conference football schedule format and opponents have been set for the 2025 season, the conference announced on Thursday.
The 2025 season will be the second for the American in its current 14-team configuration following the loss of SMU and addition of Army. The complete American roster includes Army, Charlotte, East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Memphis, Navy, North Texas, Rice, Temple, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB, USF, and UTSA.
Each American team will again play an eight-game conference schedule with four non-conference opponents. Additionally, all 14 American teams will continue to compete in one division and the top two teams in the final regular-season standings will advance to the American Football Championship Game.
The scheduling format fulfills a number of objectives set by the conference. There are no matchups played at the same site from 2024 to 2025. Each team will play at least one road game in the Eastern and Central time zones, and each team will have played at least one road game in Texas in a two-year span.
Listed below is the list of opponents for each American team for the 2025 season. The complete American football schedule for 2025 will be announced in February.

And to nip it in the bud, remember Army v. Navy is considered a non-conference game so they essentially play a 9th conference game that doesn’t “count”. Now if a miracle happens and both end up #1 and #2 in the conference, they’d get to play two weeks in a row. First for the American championship, and then The Game the next week.

It won’t happen… but it’s fun to consider.
