The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) has announced their 2024 ESPN football TV schedule, which includes 41 regular-season match-ups across ABC, ESPNU, and ESPN+.
Seven regular-season MEAC matchups will be broadcast on ESPNU, while the MEAC/SWAC Challenge and Cricket Celebration Bowl will both be televised on ABC.
The season kicks off with the 2024 Cricket MEAC/SWAC Football Challenge in Week Zero on Saturday, Aug. 24 at Center Parc Stadium in Atlanta, Ga. The matchup features Norfolk State taking on Florida A&M and the contest will be televised live by ABC at 7:30pm ET.
Two MEAC contests were moved to weeknights earlier this season for national television broadcasts on ESPNU. South Carolina State will host North Carolina Central on Thursday, Oct. 31 at 7:00pm ET. Two weeks later, Howard will visit North Carolina Central on Friday, Nov. 15 at 8:00pm ET.
The MEAC will have three ESPNU “Game of the Week” wildcard contests beginning on Saturday, Oct. 26. The windows are scheduled for Oct. 26, Nov. 9, and Nov 16. Matchups and game times will be announced at least 12 days ahead of the game.
All remaining MEAC controlled regular-season games will be streamed via ESPN+.
The Cricket Celebration Bowl concludes the MEAC football TV schedule on Saturday, Dec. 14. The bowl game in Atlanta pits the champions of the MEAC and the SWAC at noon ET and it will be televised live by ABC.
Below is the complete MEAC football TV schedule for the 2024 season, which also includes some games not controlled by the MEAC.
