INDIANAPOLIS – The Butler football team will play four non-conference games at the start of the 2024 season with three of the four being played at the Bud and Jackie Sellick Bowl. The season opener is set for Saturday, August 31 with the Bulldogs hosting Upper Iowa in Indy at 1 PM.

"We are very excited to complete our 2024 schedule with the addition of these non-conference games," Head Coach
Mike Uremovich stated. "This will be a challenging start to the year before we get into the always tough Pioneer Football League schedule. It's exciting because this will be the first time for our staff to start the season with three of the first four games at home. Our guys are working hard right now to be ready for the upcoming season. It is going to be a fun challenge."

After the Bulldogs host Upper Iowa over opening weekend, the team will travel to Murray State to face the Racers on Sept. 7. The lone night game on the schedule follows when Butler hosts Hanover on Sept. 14 at 6 PM. The non-conference slate wraps up on Sept. 28 with a home game against Virginia University of Lynchburg. That contest will be played at 1 PM over Butler's Family Weekend.

Butler is coming off a 7-4 campaign that featured a 5-3 mark against PFL teams. They faced #14 Montana last year in the season opener and would end the non-conference slate with a 2-1 record.

The first chance for fans to see the Bulldogs in action this year will be at the team's annual spring game. Butler will host an intersquad event at the Sellick Bowl on April 27. Admission and parking is free!
