The Keiser football team announced its 2024 schedule on Friday. This year's slate features 10 games with a seven-game Sun Conference schedule and three non-conference contests. The Seahawks open 2024 with two NCAA Division II programs before hosting their first game of the season on Sept. 21.
 Â
The Seahawks are coming off the program's first NAIA National Championship, earning the Red Banner after a 31-21 win over Northwestern (Iowa). The Seahawks won a program-best 12 games in 2023, sporting three AFCA NAIA All-Americans and four AP NAIA All-Americans. Keiser boasted a school-record 18 all-conference honorees as well as the SUN Offensive Lineman of the Year, SUN Defensive Back of the Year, SUN Linebacker of the Year, SUN Special Teams Player of the Year, SUN Freshman of the Year, and the SUN Champion of Character.
Â
- For the third straight season, the Seahawks will open the season with an NCAA Division II opponent, traveling to Tigerville, South Carolina, to take on the North Greenville Crusaders on Thursday, September 5. This will be the first meeting between both schools.
- Nine days later, Keiser returns to the Palmetto State to face another first-time NCAA DII opponent with a game versus Newberry College (Sept. 14).
- KU opens its home schedule, facing the Fort Lauderdale Eagles for the first time on Saturday, September 21.
- Keiser closes out the month of September with a trip to Thomasville, Georgia, to open up Sun Conference action on Saturday, September 28. The Seahawks won the first meeting between the two sides last year, downing the Night Hawks, 44-12.
- The following week, Keiser travels to Miami Gardens to take on the St. Thomas Bobcats. The Seahawks faced the Bobcats twice last season and are 6-0 all-time versus STU.
- Keiser returns home on October 12 to welcome the Warner Royals to the Keiser Multi-Purpose Field. The Seahawks hold a 3-0 record versus the Royals all-time in West Palm Beach, outscoring WU, 154-24.
- The Seahawks will hit the road for two more conference games, visiting Southeastern on Saturday, October 19, and Webber Int'l on Saturday, Nov. 5. The Seahawks have won two straight in Lakeland over the Fire and are 3-0 all-time versus the Warriors in Babson Park.
- The 2023 regular season wraps up with two consecutive home games as the Florida Memorial Lions come to town on November 9 followed by the regular season finale versus Ave Maria on November 16.
