UCF football schedule 2024: Dates, kickoff times, TV channel for each game

The 2024 college football season is around the corner, and UCF is looking to make some noise in an expanded Big 12.
No, this isn't a result of players of EA Sports' College Football 25 going haywire with modified conferences. The Knights joined the Big 12 in 2023 with Cincinnati, BYU and Houston, and in 2024 the conference sees Texas and Oklahoma leave while Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah enter.
UCF went 6-7 last season and lost to Georgia Tech in the Gasparilla Bowl. Star running back RJ Harvey will be back, as will preseason All-Big 12 wide receiver Kobe Hudson. Quarterback John Rhys Plumlee will be replaced by Arkansas transfer KJ Jefferson, who was named Big 12 preseason newcomer of the year.
