TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Florida A&M University Athletics announced some of their future matchups that include Group of Five and Power Five football teams, on Wednesday.

In June 2020, FAMU accepted membership into the Southwestern Athletic Conference and begin its journey as a full member of the conference in the Fall of 2021.

Conference action will pit FAMU against Alabama A&M, Alabama State, Alcorn State, Grambling State, Jackson State, Mississippi Valley State, Prairie View A&M, Southern University, Texas Southern, and Arkansas-Pine Bluff, and preparation for those matchups will be key.

To assist in that area, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), Southeastern Conference (SEC), Sun Belt Conference, and Conference USA competition fill FAMU's upcoming non-conference calendars for many years to come.

FAMU also announced the return of traditional meetings with Fort Valley ('21) and Albany State ('22), both of which FAMU shares a longstanding history.
