Southland Conference announces 2024 football schedule

By Kevin Kelley -

The Southland Conference has announced its 2024 football schedule. Conference play begins on Sept. 28 with Nicholls hosting Texas A&M-Commerce.

For the 2024 season, the Southland Conference will again consist of eight football-playing members — Houston Christian (HCU), Lamar, McNeese, Nicholls, Northwestern State, Southeastern Louisiana, Texas A&M-Commerce, and Incarnate Word (UIW).

Each Southland conference team will play a seven-game, round-robin schedule against the other members. Teams will also play 12-games schedules in 2024 due to NCAA bylaws and the calendar. The last time this occurred was the 2019 season and it will naturally occur again in 2025.

Kickoff times and television designations will be announced at a later date.
