The Sun Belt has approved a football schedule that includes eight league games and up to four non-league games, set to begin Labor Day weekend and possibly sooner.

The NCAA has issued a blanket waiver for FBS teams to play Aug. 29, which provides additional flexibility. Texas State announced its opening game against SMU had been moved  to Aug. 29.

The Sun Belt will maintain normal divisions, and its championship game is set for Dec. 5 but can be moved to another date.

The conference has two divisions for football: East: Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, and Troy; West: Arkansas State, Louisiana, Louisiana–Monroe, South Alabama, and Texas State.
