While last season didn’t deliver a Sun Belt Championship Game appearance, Tim Beck took the reigns and guided the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers to a fourth consecutive bowl game appearance.
With a potential College Football Playoff appearance available to the conference champion, a title has to be the minimum expectation, but can the Coastal Carolina 2024 football schedule facilitate that level of success?

The Coastal Carolina 2024 football schedule begins with a non-conference slate featuring multiple first-time matchups. In their short FBS history, the Chanticleers have never faced the Temple Owls, Virginia Cavaliers, or the William & Mary Tribe. They open the season on the road at a Jacksonville State Gamecocks team they beat last fall. At least three wins in those four is possible.
The Chanticleers open Sun Belt play by welcoming the Old Dominion Monarchs to Conway, a team they beat last fall. They also beat the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns the last time the two met, although that was back in 2020. They’ll look to overturn a defeat to the Georgia Southern Eagles from last season when they face off in the penultimate weekend of the season.
Arguably, the most important fixture on the Coastal Carolina 2024 football schedule is on November 7. A Thursday night matchup with the Appalachian State Mountaineers has significant Sun Belt repercussions, with both teams likely to be conference contenders. Home advantage may prove pivotal for the Chanticleers.

While that matchup with the Mountaineers is a game to circle, two road game have the potential to derail a conference championship bid. The Troy Trojans and James Madison Dukes have been at the forefront of the Sun Belt over the past two seasons, and despite coaching changes and player departures, those are two extremely difficult games on the Chants schedule.
