Colorado will play 12 home dates
BOULDER — Head coach Danny Sanchez announced the completion of the Buffaloes' 2024 soccer schedule on Monday, in conjunction with the Big 12 Conference schedule release.
Colorado will play nine non-conference matchups before an 11-match Big 12 schedule in its return to the conference. The 2024 schedule features 12 home dates and three opponents from the 2023 NCAA Tournament field.
"We couldn't be more excited to move into the Big 12 this year," Sanchez expressed. "It is a tough league, from top to bottom. We have put together one of the most challenging non-conference schedules in CU history. National powers at home and on the road will really challenge and prepare us for conference play. Our supporters will be treated to some fantastic matches at Prentup Field."
The 2024 season will start with five consecutive matches at Prentup Field. The Buffs will host North Texas in the opener on Aug. 10. Marquette will return to Boulder to open week two (Aug. 15), followed by a marquee matchup with 2023 Elite Eight competitors North Carolina. The opening homestand closes with visits from Wyoming (Aug. 22) and Michigan (Aug. 25).
CU's first road trip will be a two-game swing through North Carolina. The Buffs will take on UNC Greensboro in their first stop on Aug. 29. Colorado will then head to Raleigh to close the trip at NC State (Sept. 1).
The non-conference season closes at home with a weekend matchup featuring front-range-rival Denver (Sept. 5) and Weber State (Sept. 8).
The Buffs will open Big 12 play on the road. CU's will head to Manhattan, Kan., for its first Big 12 Conference match since the end of the 2010 season, taking on Kansas State on Sept. 12. The opening stretch also includes visits to Oklahoma State (Sept. 19) and Iowa State (Sept. 22).
CU's first Big 12 home match will be on Sept. 26, and it will be a meeting against Baylor. The three-game homestand also includes Kansas (Sept. 26) and TCU (Oct. 5).
Colorado will have two more home matches in its final five games. UCF will make its first visit to Boulder on Oct. 13. The Buffs will close the regular season with a familiar foe in Utah (Oct. 25).
The remaining matches will be road contests at Texas Tech (Oct. 10), Cincinnati (Oct. 17) and West Virginia (Oct. 20).
The Sprouts Farmers Market Big 12 Soccer Championship will be held at CPKC Stadium, home of the NWSL's Kansas City Current (Oct. 30-Nov. 9). The tournament will consist of 11 matches, with the top 12 teams earning a trip to Kansas City. The top four seeds will receive byes into the quarterfinals.
