ORLANDO – The American Athletic Conference released its schedule for the 2020-21 men's basketball season on Friday. The announcement completes UCF's schedule for the upcoming season, having previously released its four-game non-conference slate earlier in the month.
Unlike the last few years, the Knights will play every team in The American twice in the 2020-21 campaign, hosting each team once and playing every team in the league once on the road.
Another new wrinkle to this year's schedule is that the Knights will play three conference games prior to the new year and one before the end of non-conference play.
UCF's final non-conference contest is a road game at Florida State on Dec. 19, while the American Athletic Conference opener is set for Dec. 15 at Houston.
The Knights will also host Cincinnati and Tulane in December, welcoming the Bearcats to Addition Financial Arena on Dec. 22 and the Green Wave on Dec. 30.
January's home opponents include Memphis (Jan. 5), Houston (Jan. 17), SMU (Jan. 23) and ECU (Jan. 27), while the Knights will go on the road in January to take on South Florida (Jan. 2), Tulsa (Jan. 9), Temple (Jan. 13) and Wichita State (Jan. 30).
In February, UCF will host Tulsa (Feb. 6), Wichita State (Feb. 10), South Florida (Feb. 17) and Temple (Feb. 27), and go on the road to take on Memphis (Feb. 3), Cincinnati (Feb. 14), Tulane (Feb. 20) and SMU (Feb. 23).
The Knights will finish out the regular season on March 4 on the road at ECU.
Home games at Addition Financial Arena will begin with 25 percent capacity. Tickets are on sale now for the Oklahoma game, the Auburn game, and 10-game conference plans. Click Here to purchase tickets.
