BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Florida Atlantic University football team (3-4, 2-1 AAC) will travel to Charlotte, North Carolina for a 7:30 p.m. Friday night matchup against host Charlotte (2-5, 1-2 AAC). The game will air on ESPN2.

The Owls first played a Friday game in 2007 at the New Orleans Bowl versus Memphis. FAU would not play another until 2015 when FAU hosted Miami. Newly hired head coach Lane Kiffin welcomed Navy for the 2017 season opener and later played both UCF and LA Tech in 2018 on a Friday. 2019 was another year for two Friday night games facing Marshall and saw the Owls play two Friday night games. The Owls faced Marshall on a Friday in 2019 and played two in 2020, the first versus FIU and the second a late added contest versus UMass. FAU's all-time Friday night record is 3-5.
