The 2024 American Athletic Conference Football Championship Game will be a college football game played on December 6, 2024 to determine the champion of the American Athletic Conference (The American) for the 2024 season. It will be the ninth American Athletic Conference Football Championship Game. The game is scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m. EST and air on ABC. The game will feature the Tulane Green Wave against the Army Black Knights.
The 2024 American Conference Championship Game will feature the Tulane Green Wave and the Army Black Knights. This is the third consecutive American title game appearance for Tulane and its third overall. This is the first American title game appearance for Army, which is in its first season in The American.
The site of the game was determined during the final week of the conference season. Tulane's loss to Memphis on November 28, combined with Army's win over UTSA two days later, gave Army the outright regular-season title and hosting rights.[1]
This will be the 24th meeting between Tulane and Army; currently, the Green Wave lead the all-time series 13-9-1.[2]
