DALLAS – Conference USA has announced its football schedule for the 2019 season.  The 14-team alignment for the 2019 season will again feature each team playing eight conference games, along with four non-league contests.  A total of 168 games are featured over 14 regular season playing weeks.

The 2019 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 2018 division opponents, while intra-division foes begin a new two-year cycle.  The conference is in the third 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 2019 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.
• Nearly all 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
• At least one conference game in 12 of the 14 playing weeks.
• Each school has multiple bye weeks due to the 14 playing week 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 accommodate national television.  A schedule of televised games will be released at a later date.
