The 2024 Oregon football schedule will get started sooner than we know it. And, thankfully, the first Oregon football game of the 2024 college football season will be at home in Eugene, Oregon as the Oregon Ducks face off against the Idaho Vandals in Autzen Stadium.

This will mark the start of a new era for Dan Lanning and the Oregon football team as the Ducks embark on their inaugural season with the Big Ten.

2024 Oregon Ducks schedule starts with non-conference clash against Idaho

The Oregon Ducks vs. Idaho matchup serves as a starting point for the season because, well, it’s quite literally the start of the Ducks’ 2024 campaign. In what many Oregon football fans are hoping will be a big season, this game provides Lanning and his Ducks with the perfect opportunity to set the tone for the season and showcase some substance to back all of the offseason hype that has been building. 

Plus, well, it’s Idaho. The Vandals are going to get a nice little payday to help support their athletics department (which is a good thing for the sport, to be completely and totally honest and supportive of college football as a whole) and the Ducks get a chance to fine tune a few things before getting into more challenging contests (which is a good thing for a team with national title aspirations).

It’s a win-win for all involved. Except, you know, Idaho on the field.

2024 Oregon football schedule: Ducks vs. Idaho

  • Who: Oregon Ducks vs. Idaho Vandals
  • What: Season opener for the 2024 Oregon Ducks schedule
  • When: Saturday, August 31 at 4:30 p.m. PT
  • Where: Autzen Stadium in Eugene Oregon

This should be a pretty easygoing game for Lanning and the Oregon football team. There’s honestly no reason why the Ducks take an early, commanding lead and get some of the younger guys on the roster some reps in the second half before winning big. 

But, again, this is just the start.

So, for fans looking to plan their fall around Duck football, start paying attention to everything regarding the 2024 Oregon football schedule. This is the first of seven games that will be played in Autzen Stadium during the regular season this year. There will be tougher contests later down the line (Ohio State, Michigan, and Wisconsin, to name a few).
