It’s a new era in SMU Athletics. This July, the Mustangs will officially join the Atlantic Coast Conference, meaning a whole new lineup of competitors and host cities.
After beginning the season against Nevada in Reno on August 24, SMU football will host the home opener against Houston Christian University on August 31, followed by BYU on September 6 and the “Battle for the Iron Skillet” against TCU on September 21.
Then, the eight-game slate of ACC competitors begins with Family Weekend on September 28 versus Florida State.
During the month of October, the Mustangs hit the road, first in Louisville on October 5; then, against Stanford on October 19; and Duke on October 26.
For our first ACC Homecoming, SMU will host Pittsburgh on November 2 before a rematch with Boston College on November 16.
Finally, one last away game takes the team to Virginia on November 23 before closing out the season at home against Cal on November 30.
Though times and televised information may not be out yet, it’s never too early to start thinking about season tickets to support the Mustangs at Ford Stadium – especially with the new Weber End Zone Complex ready to welcome fans.
