In a move to rebuild the Pac-12 conference amidst several departures, Oregon State University unveiled its highly anticipated 2024 football schedule on Thursday. The schedule features an enticing lineup of games, including matchups against Power 4-5 schools and a series of contests against Mountain West Conference (MWC) opponents.

The Beavers will kickstart their season with a home opener against Idaho State on August 31, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting campaign. Furthermore, Oregon State will have the advantage of hosting the coveted rivalry game against in-state rivals, the University of Oregon, on September 14, at Reser Stadium.

The inclusion of Power 4-5 schools in their schedule underlines Oregon State's commitment to challenging themselves against top-tier teams. The Beavers will face Purdue on September 21, offering a true test of their mettle against a formidable opponent. Additionally, they will be pitted against Washington State, another Power 4-5 school, in a clash scheduled for November 23.

The rest of Oregon State's home games will feature matchups against MWC teams, including UNLV, Colorado State, and San Jose State. While the specific dates for these games are yet to be disclosed by the university and the Mountain West, fans can expect nail-biting encounters as the Beavers strive to assert their dominance.

The Beavers will hit the road for five games throughout the season, with four of them against Mountain West opponents and one taking them to face off against California. Their first away game will be against San Diego State on September 7, followed by a clash with California on September 28. Dates for the remaining road games against Air Force, Nevada, and Boise State are set to be announced soon, keeping fans eagerly awaiting the action-packed matches.

Notably, a slight alteration was made to the original schedule, with the game against Boise State being moved to a date in October or November to accommodate the highly anticipated matchup against the University of Oregon. Instead, Oregon State will head to San Diego State on September 7 to face a tough challenge on enemy territory.

For Oregon State football enthusiasts, the opportunity to secure season tickets is just around the corner. Current customers can purchase their season tickets beginning January 2, while new season ticket holders will have the chance to do so at a later date. The choice of seats for all fans will be announced in due course.

With an array of thrilling matchups against Power 4-5 schools and a football scheduling alliance with Washington State and the MWC, Oregon State is poised to make a statement in the 2024 season. As the anticipation builds, fans eagerly anticipate the release of the remaining game dates, eagerly awaiting the action that lies ahead.
