The newly-expanded Big 12 Conference announced its 2024 football league schedule on Tuesday.
Following nonconference games against North Dakota State, Nebraska and Colorado State, the Colorado Buffaloes will host Baylor in their Big 12 opener on Sept. 21. Head coach Deion Sanders and the Buffs are then set to face UCF in Orlando the following weekend, marking CU’s first-ever meeting with the Knights.
Other highlights include an Oct. 12 homecoming game vs. Kansas State and road matchups at Arizona, Texas Tech and Kansas. With the Jayhawks’ home stadium in Lawrence undergoing renovations, Colorado’s Nov. 23 matchup against Kansas is scheduled to be played at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Buffs will enjoy two bye weeks (Week 6 and 10) and a total of six home games. Their 2024 regular season will conclude against Oklahoma State on Nov. 29 at Folsom Field.
