The 2024 home opener will take place a week later as the Huskies welcome Merrimack College to The Rent on September 7th for a first-ever match-up between the two schools. UConn has played at least one FCS opponent in each season since moving up to FBS in 2002 and is 20-2 in those games.
UConn will face three Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) teams in 2024, the first coming on the road on September 14th at Duke University. The Huskies and Blue Devils met during the 2023 season, a 41-7 win by then No. 18 nationally ranked Duke in East Hartford. After that game this past fall, UConn and Duke announced an agreement for four future games during the 2025 (H), 2026 (A), 2029 (H) and 2030 (A) seasons.
Following their trip to Durham, NC, the Huskies will not venture back out on the road until the second week of November thanks to six-straight scheduled for their home turf.

The two schools have met just once before, a 61-14 UConn win at home in 2002. This will also mark the first of four games against teams from the American Athletic Conference (AAC) this upcoming season.
UConn follows their match-up with the Owls by hosting the University of Buffalo from the Mid-American Conference (MAC) on Saturday, September 28th and Temple University from the AAC on Saturday, October 5th.

Following a bye week, the Huskies are back home on Saturday, October 19th for their second match-up against an ACC team with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons coming to town. UConn and Wake Forest last met in the 2007 Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte, NC, a 24-10 win for the Demon Deacons. UConn's lone win in the three meetings between the two schools came in 2003, 51-17, on the road.
UConn wraps up their home schedule with games against teams they faced in 2023. The Huskies host Rice University from the AAC on Saturday, October 26th and Georgia State from the Sun Belt Conference on Saturday, November 2nd. UConn got their first win of 2023 by beating the Owls on the road, 38-31, last October in the first-ever match-up between the two schools. The Huskies and Panthers also met for the first-time last season in Atlanta, GA with Georgia State dealing UConn a loss in week two.
The Huskies play three-straight on the road to close out the season starting on Saturday, November 9th when they make their longest road trip of the fall and head to Birmingham, AL for a first-ever meeting with the UAB Blazers of the AAC.
UConn will have a second bye and then head to Syracuse University for their final meeting with an ACC opponent on Saturday, November 23rd. The all-time series is tied at six wins apiece with the Orange winning the last match-up in 2022 in East Hartford.
