Under Jason Candle, the Toledo Rockets have become perennial contenders in the Mid-American Conference and head into the upcoming campaign looking to make the MAC Championship Game for a third successive season. Can they extend that streak and reclaim the title they won two seasons ago? The Toledo 2024 football schedule provides a path to a December date in Detroit.

According to the CFN Strength of Schedule, the Toledo 2024 football schedule is one of the easiest in the MAC. Only the Buffalo Bulls, who the Rockets face in Week 7, have a less difficult go of it in the upcoming fall, potentially paving the way for a return to Ford Field for the 2024 MAC Championship Game. Who stands in the way of their date with destiny?
The out-of-conference element of the Toledo 2024 football schedule features a non-FBS opponent in the Duquesne Dukes, a future MAC conquest in the UMass Minutemen, and a CUSA team looking to rebound from a difficult campaign in the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. All those games should be winnable, and they could surprise against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
When you get into the MAC portion of the Toledo 2024 football schedule, two dates immediately stand out. The Rockets will entertain the reigning champion Miami (OH) RedHawks on October 5 and host the Ohio Bobcats on November 20. They’re championship game-defining matchups on the calendar, where the loser may struggle to make up ground the rest of the year.

The Rockets will also host a strong Bowling Green Falcons team at home. Thus, the three most difficult games on the Toledo 2024 football schedule will take place in the Glass Bowl. That certainly contributes to the ease of schedule. Back-to-back road games in Buffalo and against the Northern Illinois Huskies are a challenge, but the Candle’s team should be a leading light once more.
