• Lions reveal revised '24 football schedule

COMMERCE — Texas A&M University-Commerce has announced a revised football schedule for the 2024 season, with the addition of Stephen F. Austin to the Southland Conference on July 1.

The SLC released a revamped football schedule for all nine teams. This year will be unique in that the Lions play seven conference schools but only six will be counted as a conference game. This year's home contest against SFA will be counted as a non-conference game.

Despite only playing six games, A&M-Commerce is still eligible to win the conference title. In 2025, the conference schedule is slated to go back to an even number of games for all schools, with the addition of the University of Texas of the Rio Grande Valley.

The Lions' non-conference schedule remains the same. The season begins in the state of California with an Aug. 31 contest at San Diego State and a Sept. 7 game at the University of California, Davis.

The home opener is Sept. 14 against Grambling and the following week A&M-Commerce hosts Sacramento State from the Big Sky Conference. Both games kickoff at 6 p.m. The game against Sac State is also Family Weekend and Hall of Fame weekend.

Southland play begins Oct. 5 at Southeastern. A week later the Lions travel to Northwestern State. Homecoming is still slated for Oct. 19 vs. Lamar in what will be a 3:30 p.m. kickoff.

The Lions then play at Prairie View A&M on Oct. 26, before returning to conference play for a Nov. 2 match up at McNeese State The revamped schedule has the Lions closing out the final three games of the season inside Ernest Hawkins Field at Memorial Stadium.

A&M-Commerce hosts SFA on Nov. 9 at 3:30 p.m.

Conference play concludes with two 1 p.m. kickoffs, against Houston Christian on Nov. 16 and Incarnate Word on Nov. 23.
