After a third consecutive winning season — with three bowl game wins on the bounce — led to a contract extension for head coach Troy Calhoun, the Air Force Falcons should continue to soar in 2024.
Will the Air Force 2024 football schedule hinder their chances of another winning season, or are there plenty of potential wins for the Mountain West outfit?

After a season-opener against non-FBS Merrimack, the Air Force 2024 football schedule gets an early taste of Mountain West action with a Week 2 visit from the San Jose Spartans, led by new head coach Ken Niumatalolo. It’s a familiar face in an unfamiliar place, with the long-time Navy head coach renewing his rivalry with the Falcons.
That Week 2 Mountain West matchup is sandwiched between two out-of-conference clashes, with a road trip to Waco and the Baylor Bears providing a tough early test for Calhoun’s team. The Falcons’ other non-conference game (protected rivalries aside) sees Air Force welcome the Oregon State Beavers under the new 7+1 scheduling agreement with the Pac-12.
The remaining Mountain West schedule features road trips to the New Mexico Lobos, Wyoming Cowboys, Nevada Wolf Pack, and a season-ending clash at the San Diego State Aztecs. After facing San Jose State in Colorado early on, their other home games are against the Fresno State Bulldogs and Colorado State Rams. The Falcons avoid the Boise State Broncos this fall.
