    ATLANTA — The SIAC released the 23-game schedule on ESPN platforms for the upcoming football season. The 2024 lineup marks the fourth year of the conference media rights relationship, set to feature highly anticipated matchups and HBCU Classics such as the Fountain City Classic, Morehouse-Tuskegee Classic, and the season-opening Boeing Red Tails Classic.

    “Our continued relationship with ESPN represents a significant milestone for the SIAC,” said SIAC Commissioner Anthony Holloman. “This collaboration underscores our unwavering commitment to enhancing the visibility of our member institutions while amplifying the voices and exceptional talents of our student-athletes. As we embark on our fourth year with ESPN, we eagerly anticipate the competitive fervor and inspiring moments that will define the essence of the 2024 season.”

    This is the first season since the implementation of the NCAA Week Zero legislation that permits DII HBCU teams to play before week one, extending the regular season to 11 weeks of action.
