2024 KU football schedule announced, including home games in KC
LAWRENCE (KSNT) - Jayhawk football fans now know when KU will play each of its football games in 2024.
The 'Hawks are looking to build off a season which produced their first bowl win since 2008. Notable matchups on deck for Leipold's fourth year in Lawrence include:
- 2023 Guaranteed Rate Bowl rematch against UNLV, in Lawrence on Sept. 14
- Sunflower Showdown in Manhattan on Oct. 26
KU's home games will not be in Lawrence this fall, as David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium will still be in the midst of renovations in the fall of 2024. Instead, the 'Hawks will host games at both Children's Mercy Park and Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, as a hype video on social media made clear Tuesday morning.
