The United Athletic Conference (UAC) announced its expanded eight-game football schedule for the 2024 campaign on Tuesday afternoon. The competition slate features four home games and four road games for each of the league's 10 member institutions.

Utah Tech will open its second season of UAC play with back-to-back home games vs. Abilene Christian (Sept. 28) and North Alabama (Oct. 5). The Trailblazers will then head to Texas for consecutive conference road dates, beginning with a trip to Stephenville to face Tarleton (Oct. 12).

Following their bye week on Oct. 19, the Blazers travel back to the "Lone Star State" to square off against Stephen F. Austin (Oct. 26). Utah Tech will then alternate home and road games the rest of the way, beginning at home with its first-ever match-up against Central Arkansas (Nov. 2).

The Trailblazers will then make the long cross country trek to "The Peach State" to play at UAC newcomer West Georgia (Nov. 9), which will be starting its first transition season from NCAA Division II to the Division I FCS ranks.

Utah Tech will wrap up its 2024 home slate against 2023 UAC champion Austin Peay (Nov. 16), and will close out the season with the "Battle For The Axe" showdown at in-state rival Southern Utah (11/23).    

Utah Tech will announce its complete 2024 football schedule, along with 2024 season ticket information at a later date.
