In its entirety, 2024 SEC schedule has been released to the public as the official dates and times for every conference matchup provide more context within head coach Mike Elko’s first season at the helm.
Earlier this summer, A&M’s non-conference schedule, including the season-opening home matchup vs. Notre Dame on Saturday, Aug. 31, became even more interesting on Tuesday after it was revealed that former Duke quarterback Riley Leonard will transfer to the Fighting Irish, pitting Elko’s ex-signal caller against the man he called head coach for the past two season’s in Durham to open the 2024 season.
Most importantly, Texas and Oklahoma will join the now division-less SEC after departing the Big 12 conference, just a year after the Longhorns compete for a 2023 National Title. Conference realignment has changed college football as we know it; permanent rivals were also announced earlier this year. LSU, Mississippi and Texas will face the Aggies annually on the gridiron.
To recuperate during the busy season, the Aggies will have two open weekends in October (Oct. 12) and November (Nov. 9) before finishing the SEC season.
In conference play, the Aggies will avoid Alabama and Ole Miss for the first time since entering the SEC in 2012, while the resurrection of the Lone Star Showdown vs. the Texas Longhorns stands out as the crème de la crème of late-season matchups during the 2024 slate.
SEC Network’s Laura Rutledge,Joey Galloway, Greg McElroy, Tim Tebow and Paul Finebaum helped announce the schedules for all 14 teams on Wednesday night. Here is the entire 2024 SEC schedule for Texas A&M.
