The Charlotte 49ers have announced the 2021 football schedule and it includes a slew of firsts: The first home game against an ACC foe. The first meeting with a Big 10 team. The first season in which they face a pair of Power 5 opponents. And, after six years in Conference USA, the first game against league member Louisiana Tech.
The 49ers will play a 12-game schedule that includes eight Conference USA games and four non-conference contests with six games at home and six on the road. The 49ers, members of C-USA's East Division, will play the league's six other division teams as well as crossover games with West Division foes Louisiana Tech and Rice.
