The American Athletic Conference released Temple University football’s official schedule on Tuesday afternoon in a press release. Game times have not yet been announced.
“This is always an exciting time of year for college football fans,” coach Rod Carey said in the release. “As soon as the schedule comes out you can plan your Saturdays for the fall so you can follow your favorite teams. Our fans are fortunate to see their team at home in a beautiful NFL stadium and we even get to start the season in the stadium where they played the Super Bowl a couple of weeks ago.”
This is the first season The American will not have divisions and use a round-robin format instead, The Temple News reported in October 2019.
Temple will begin AAC play on the road against Navy on Saturday, Sept. 26. The Owls’ second AAC game is at home against South Florida on Oct.17. Next, on Saturday, Oct. 24 Temple will head to Tennessee to match up with last year’s conference champion, Memphis.
