Press Release from the University of Louisville:
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Atlantic Coast Conference announced the 2024-25 conference slate for all 18 teams Tuesday night and now the Louisville Cardinals full schedule is complete. The Cardinals will be in the national spotlight for a majority of their conference schedule as 14 of their 18 league games will be featured on national television. Including their non-conference schedule, the Cardinals will have at least one game on ABC, FOX, ESPN and ESPN2 this upcoming season.
There are a few changes to the conference schedule as a new model was adopted with the additions of Stanford, Cal and SMU to the league this season. Each school has an assigned travel partner that will feature a home-and-away series each season. In previous years, each ACC team had four home-and-away matchups in a single season. The rest of the home and away matchups will flip annually and all the ACC schools will travel to the pacific time zone once every two seasons.
The Cardinals ACC opener was previously announced as the Cards host NC State on Sunday December 15 at the KFC Yum! Center as part of the Jimmy V Women’s Classic. The matchup is set for a 1 p.m. ET tip and will be aired nationally on ABC.
Following the holiday break, the Cardinals will continue conference play as they travel to Chestnut Hill and take on Boston College on December 29. That matchup will be at 2 p.m. and aired on the ACC Network. Louisville has won 17-straight games against Boston College, including all 16 matchups as ACC foes.
Louisville will begin the new year at home with a matchup against Miami on Thursday January 2 at 7 p.m. The Cardinals are 9-3 all-time against the Hurricanes and transfer guard Ja’Leah Williams will suit up against her former team. She spent her first three collegiate seasons in Coral Gables with the Hurricanes.
The next two games for the Cardinals will be on the road as they travel to Wake Forest and Pittsburgh. The matchup with the Demon Deacons will be on January 5 at 2 p.m. and it will be aired on the ACC Network. The Cardinals face off with Pitt on January 9 with the time to be determined at a later date. Louisville is 27-2 all-time against the Panthers and have won 23-straight games against Pitt.
The Cardinals return home for two-straight games at the Yum Center starting with a Sunday matchup against Georgia Tech on January 12. The Cardinals and Yellow Jackets will square off at 4 p.m. and it will be broadcast on the ACC Network. Then the Cardinals will host Syracuse on Thursday January 16 at 7 p.m. and that will be streamed on the ACC Network Extra.
