The 2020 alignment will feature seven teams in the East Division and seven teams in the West Division. Charlotte, FIU, Florida Atlantic, Marshall, Middle Tennessee, Old Dominion and WKU comprise the East Division, while Louisiana Tech, North Texas, Rice, Southern Miss, UAB, UTEP and UTSA make up the West Division.
Each school will play every team in its division once for six games, while playing two cross-over opponents from the opposite division. Each team will reverse the location of its 2019 division and cross-division opponents, with intra-division foes finishing a two-year cycle. The conference is in the fourth year of a rotation between cross-division opponents that will rotate every two years until 2024, when each school has played every opponent in the opposite division once home and away.
The 2020 schedule complies with C-USA scheduling policies as approved by the Board of Directors. In addition, the schedule provides the following:
- Nearly all teams finish their Conference schedule with two games of one at home and one away.
- All 14 teams have two home games and two away games in the first half of the Conference schedule as well as the second half of the Conference schedule; and
- There is at least one conference game in 12 of the 13 playing weeks.
- Each school has one bye week due to the return to the 13-week playing season.
It is important to note that all games are subject to date changes and some dates are expected to move in the coming weeks in order to accommodate national television. A schedule of televised games will be released at a later date.
Conference USA’s 16th annual Championship Game, pitting the champions of the East and West Divisions, is scheduled for Saturday, December 5.
