Houston is heading into its second year as a member of the Big 12 conference and its first season under new head coach, Willie Fritz. Here’s how their 2024 season will look.

Houston has six home games in 2024, playing host to UNLV and Rice in the nonconference slate and Iowa State, Utah, Kansas State, Baylor, and Kansas in Big 12 play. The Cougars will have five road games against Big 12 opponents, at Cincinnati, TCU, Kansas, Arizona, and BYU
Houston went 4-8 (2-7 Big 12) and finished 13th in its first year in the Big 12 but hopes that a coaching change and a new-look conference are just what they need.
