Tulsa Footballās 2025 The American Schedule Announced
TULSA, Okla. āā The American Athletic Conference announced its 2025 football slate on Friday afternoon, completing the first Golden Hurricane schedule of the Tre Lamb era.

For the first time since 2004, all of Tulsaās regular season home games are scheduled for a Saturday kickoff. The six road contests include two nonconference matchups.
Of the eight conference games, three are against teams the Hurricane did not play last season, while five are repeats with the hosting assignments swapped from the previous matchup.

The Hurricane opens its season in front of the home crowd on Saturday, Aug. 30 against Abilene Christian. Tulsa goes on the road for the first time for a Sept. 6 meeting with New Mexico State. Itās the first meeting against the Aggies since 2001 in a series Tulsa leads 15-4.
