College football on ESPN platforms promises an unparalleled lineup of marquee rivalries, non-conference showcases, conference championship contests, and comprehensive postseason coverage in 2024. ESPN will broadcast approximately 1,000 regular-season games across its platforms.

For the second straight year, the Cricket MEAC/SWAC Challenge Kickoff between Florida A&M and Norfolk State will air in primetime on ABC at 7:30 p.m. This event, held in Atlanta, celebrates the tradition, legacy, and values of HBCUs.

ESPN's longstanding commitment to HBCUs will be evident all season long on ESPNU. The network's early-season slate will feature live HBCU action on select Thursdays, Fridays, and several Saturdays throughout the fall.

The first weekend of December will see ESPN platforms concluding their signature conference action coverage with the ACC, American, Big 12, MAC, SEC, Sun Belt, and SWAC Championship Games. The American Championship will kick off on ABC on Friday, Dec. 6, at 8 p.m.

For the first time since 2000, the SEC Football Championship will be broadcast on ABC, scheduled for 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7. The ACC Championship and the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship will also be broadcast on ABC on Saturday, with times to be determined.

Additionally, ESPN platforms will showcase Saturday’s championship play from the MAC (noon, ESPN), Sun Belt (7:30 p.m., ESPN), and the SWAC (time TBD, ESPN2).

Schedules are subject to change. Please check @ESPNPR and the ESPN Press Room for more information. The 40-game Bowl Season schedule will be revealed on Thursday, June 6. Additional scheduling details, including talent assignments for each matchup, will be announced later this summer.
