The Charlotte 49ers have released the 12-game 2016 football schedule, which includes five contests with 2015 bowl teams and rematches of each Conference USA game played during the 49ers debut in the league, last season. In 2016, Charlotte will be competing in its second season at the FBS level as a member of Conference USA and its first with bowl eligibility.
The 49ers 12-game slate includes six home games and six road games with four non-conference matchups and eight Conference USA contests. In addition to five bowl participants, the 49ers will face three teams that were receiving votes in the final national polls.
