Charlotte has a rough stretch to open the season in 2024. They’ll host JMU of the Sun Belt, a perennial contender despite just two years of FBS service. Then they travel to the ACC’s North Carolina.
Both games are short travel distances but incredibly tough opponents. Making their non-conference schedule even more interesting is the fact that they can’t get away from Coach Curt Cignetti as the former head coach of the JMU Dukes has taken the post at Indiana and will host the 49ers in Week 4.
Thankfully, FCS foe Gardner-Webb lightens the load a bit for Charlotte to start the year.

The AAC schedule release sees the 49ers hosting Tulane and their back-to-back Championship Game appearances. Charlotte also plays host to ECU, UAB, and USF.
The road trips for Charlotte’s 2024 campaign aren’t much easier, however. They’ll travel to Memphis and Navy as well as a trip to visit some Owls. FAU and Rice will welcome the 49ers to town.
Notably, Charlotte got off the hook with facing UTSA, a program that missed out on the AAC Championship Game by a single contest, and SMU, the conference’s defending champs, with their departure to the ACC.
