Charlotte's 2026 season

The season finishes at home against Navy on Nov 28.

The non-conference games are against The Citadel on Sep 5, Ole Miss on Sep 12, App State on Sep 19, Louisiana on Sep 26. Those opponents are not in the American Conference, so they do not appear as rows on the conference grid — a cell naming one carries a dotted underline there to say so. They are part of this team's season all the same, which is why they are on the grid at all rather than left as blank weeks.

Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. A Saturday-evening game in the United States is the small hours of Sunday morning across Europe, and a game that crosses midnight carries a +1 so it cannot be mistaken for the same evening. 4 of these games have no confirmed kick-off time yet and show a “?” rather than a guess. To see how Charlotte's season compares with the rest of the conference — who has the harder stretch, and whose non-conference run is heaviest — the full American Conference grid puts all 14 teams side by side.

Frequently asked questions

When does Charlotte play next?

Charlotte's next game is away at North Texas on Oct 10. The list below shows every remaining game, with kick-off times in your own timezone.

How many games does Charlotte play in 2026?

12 regular-season games: 6 at home at Jerry Richardson Stadium and 6 away, from Sep 5 to Nov 28. 8 are against American Conference opponents and 4 are not. Conference championship games, bowls and the College Football Playoff are not included.

Who does Charlotte play outside the American Conference in 2026?

4 games: The Citadel on Sep 5, Ole Miss on Sep 12, App State on Sep 19, Louisiana on Sep 26. Those opponents are not in the American Conference, so they have no row of their own on the conference grid — they are marked there with a dotted underline, and named in full on this page.

Why do some of Charlotte's games have no kick-off time?

Because the networks have not chosen it yet. 4 of 12 games have a date but no confirmed time; college football kick-offs are fixed a week or two ahead, and a game can still move to a different day. Those carry a "?" instead of a time, because a placeholder you could not tell from a real time would be worse than none.

What time do Charlotte's games start in my timezone?

Every confirmed kick-off on this page is converted to the timezone your browser reports, with a manual override in the "Times in" control. College football is published in US Eastern time, so a Saturday-evening game there starts in the small hours of Sunday across Europe, and those carry a +1 mark.
