Bethune-Cookman – Home

FIU plays its first home game against Bethune-Cookman on November 15th.

The Panthers won in their previous contest, a 54-51 victory in 2023.

UCF – Away

The Panthers will face a Power 4 opponent, UCF, in Orlando on November 18th.

Both squads haven’t played against each other since 2016, and FIU hasn’t beaten the Knights since 2014.

Jacksonville – Away

Florida International University will continue its road trip in Jacksonville on November 22nd.

The Panthers hold a 5-9 record against the Dolphins and lost in last year’s matchup 72-54 at The Bank.

UMBC – Home

In the first game of the FIU Thanksgiving Classic, they play against the University of Maryland on November 28th.
