The first year of their transition to the Big 12 Conference didn’t play out as planned for the Cincinnati Bearcats, slipping to a 3-9 record with just one win in conference play. Will the Cincinnati 2024 football schedule facilitate a bounceback campaign for Scott Satterfield and his Bearcats?

With a nine-game conference slate this fall, the Cincinnati 2024 football schedule begins with a three-game out-of-conference slate. A Week 1 matchup with the Towson Tigers should cause little trouble, but they’ll face ACC opposition in Week 2 as they welcome the Pitt Panthers to Nippert Stadium. The Week 3 clash with Miami (OH) is a repeat of a defeat last fall.
With a nine-game conference slate, some Big 12 teams will face five road games with only four home, and the Cincinnati 2024 football schedule falls on the less desirable end of that arrangement. Their four home games begin against the Houston Cougars, who gave the Bearcats their only conference win last season.
Cincinnati also hosts the conference newcomer Arizona State Sun Devils, the West Virginia Mountaineers, and the TCU Horned Frogs. While the latter two games will be tough, there are reasons to believe that the clashes with Houston and Arizona State could yield wins, especially with the turmoil surrounding the Sun Devils heading into the season.

Not only does the Big 12 element of the Cincinnati 2024 football schedule lean heavily on away games, but those road trips feature perennial conference challengers like the Iowa State Cyclones and Kansas State Wildcats. Trips to face the Texas Tech Raiders, UCF Knights, and Colorado Buffaloes all provide difficult tests.
