2025 AAC Football Time Plan Publication: Data, Matchups, Notes and Trivia

The American Athletic Conference was the second last league, which exhibited its schedule of 2025 on Friday, February 28th.

After two years of comprehensive changes, the AAC remains stable. The same 14 teams from the 2024 team return to 2025. There are no newcomers and no descents.

The one remarkable change in the AAC time plan has not even been carved into stone. The conference announced that its title game 2025 will be played on ABC either on Friday, December 5th or Saturday, December 6th, but the official date is unknown for the time being. The AAC organized its first game on Friday evening in 2024, and the league with probably input from ABC/ESPN-Muss will be determined whether the AAC championship will remain a Friday evening spectacle or return on Saturday for 2025.

The AAC soccer plan from 2025 is easily:

Floating data, including the AAC championship

There are six games that can be played on one of two data.

One of these games includes the AAC championship game 2025, which has no defined date. The AAC championship was played on a Saturday from 2015 to 23, but lasted last year on Friday evening. As usual, the game is played with the best conference record on the team's campus.

Another remarkable game with flexible data is the trip from Navy to Memphis in week 14. The Matchup is played either on Thanksgiving or on Black Friday. Last year the AAC organized the only college game at the Thanksgiving Festival between Memphis and Tulane in New Orleans. This year the league could have a monopoly for the second year in a row this year on the day of the eggshell between Ole Miss and Mississippi State-Traditional.

Other schedules Trivia

  • The removal of the AAC championship game 2024 between Army and Tulane is planned for Saturday, October 18. The two did not fight last year in the regular season, but the Army won the championship weekend in West Point 35-14. This year the remaining moves to New Orleans when the green wave aims to avenge the reigning champions.
  • Charlotte and South Florida lead the league with most confirmed days of the week in four per piece. East Carolina has three confirmed weekday games, but could have up to five. The only team without a single game a week is Florida Atlantic, which all 12 plays exclusively on Saturday. Temple could also connect Florida Atlantic in this regard, since Temple is played in the 14th week between North Texas on Friday or Saturday.
  • The Matchup in week 1 on Thursday evening between East Carolina and NC State is a reservations of the recent game of both teams.

  • This is the last issue of the Bayou Bucket rivalry between Houston and Rice.

The Matchup will be created on Saturday, September 6th, the 34-12 series at the Rice Stadium on September 6th, but Rice won the last meeting in 2023 at the Rice Stadium.
  • This is the second year in a row in which the army and marine share the AAC, but the army navy game has been classified as a non-conference matchup since the AAC championship game. Last year the Army ended 8-0 in the AAC game and won the AAC championship a week before he was opposed to the navy in the annual rivalry. However, Navy decreased the league champions in neutral site rivality. Due to the non-conference name, the army has been technically unbeaten in the AAC game since it entered the league.
  • On the 2025 AAC schedule there are four qualification games for College Football Playoffs from 2024. Uab will go to Tennessee on Saturday, September 20th. In week 11, Navy will play a street game with Notre Dame on November 22nd.
  • Tulane is the only FBS team that avoids playing an opponent of FCS in 2025. The Green Wave host Northwestern and Duke and travels to South Alabama and Ole Miss for their non-conference slate.

  • Südflorida is waiting for a team before leaving its state borders. With three home games, street games in Florida and Miami (FL) and an bye in the first six weeks, the bulls only have to leave the Sunshine State in North Texas on Friday, October 10th.
