LAS CRUCES, N.M. – New Mexico State football and Conference USA released the Aggies full 2024 schedule on Thursday morning.
In their first year with newly appointed head coach, Tony Sanchez at the helm, the Aggies will take on a 12-game schedule featuring a CUSA Championship rematch, a New Mexico Bowl rematch and an opportunity to play spoiler in an SEC stadium for the second straight year.
In his debut season as the leader of the Aggies, Coach Sanchez will go head-to-head will four head coaches also in their first year with their current institution. Additionally, for the 102nd time, NM State finds long-time rivals New Mexico and UTEP on its schedule – as has been the case for all but five seasons since the Aggies began their rivalry with the Miners in 1914. This will also mark just the sixth time in history and the first time since 2002 that NM State will host both New Mexico and UTEP in the same season.
The Aggies will kick off the 2024 campaign with a home game against Southeast Missouri (Aug. 31) before welcoming Liberty (Sept. 7) to begin league play with a rematch of last year’s CUSA title game.
NM State then travels West to take on the team it saw to end the 2023 season as they visit Fresno State (Sept. 14). This will be followed by a meeting with Sam Houston in what will be the Aggies’ first CUSA road game of the year.
Next, the Crimson and White return to Aggie Memorial Stadium to host New Mexico (Sept. 28) in the 114th installment of the Rio Grande Rivalry.
The Aggies will follow their contest versus the Lobos with a road game against Jax State (Oct. 9) as they begin a stretch of three mid-week matchups. The following Tuesday, NM State will be at home against LA Tech (Oct. 15) before visiting FIU (Oct. 29).
Saturday gamedays then return as Western Kentucky (Nov. 9) visits The City of Crosses. This will precede a trip to College Station, Texas, where NM State meets up with Texas A&M (Nov. 16) in a battle between Aggies.
The Aggies final scheduled road game of the season will come at Middle Tennessee (Nov. 23). This comes one week ahead of the season and home finale against UTEP (Nov. 30).
