On Thursday, the American Athletic Conference announced the football schedule model for the 2025 season. The schedule was approved by the American's athletic directors earlier in the week.
Each team will play eight conference games: four home games and four road contests.
Other things to note: there are no matchups played at the same site from 2024 to 2025 and that each team will play at least one road game in the eastern and central time-zone along with playing one game in Texas.

Even with 14 teams in the conference, the conference will continue to implement a single division system, where the top two teams in the conference will face each other in the AAC title game.
Some fun matchups in 2025 include UTSA welcoming the Tulane Green Wave. Last season, the Green Wave dominated the Roadrunners, but in 2025 things can look a lot different and if all goes well for both teams, there is a good chance it can be an American Athletic championship rematch.
Memphis welcome the University of South Florida Bulls, a matchup that ended in a 59-50 Memphis win and should be thrilling come 2025 with both programs going in the right direction.
Two matchups that Florida Atlantic should look forward too will be when they welcome both UAB and ECU, two teams that crushed the Owls and ended their season for good when they were expected to defeat both of those teams.
The first slate of games in the 2024 season will feature Tulane, Tulsa and UAB who all play on Thursday, August 29 at 8:00 pm on ESPN+. They will all face FCS opponents.
