UConn Football announces 2024 game schedules

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. — UConn football fans can sleep better knowing what time six of the team’s seven home games will start during the 2024 season.

UConn football returns this fall to Rentschler Field at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford, its off-campus home since 2003. A release from the university informed fans of official game times Thursday.

The 2024 campaign will be the fourth season of UConn football on CBS Sports Network, the release said. The kickoff time for the home opener, Sept. 7 against Merrimack, was not announced as part of the release and does not appear to be televised by CBS Sports Network.
