The Braves will kick off the year with three of their first four games being played at Shea Stadium, including two matchups with in-state foes and the resumption of the third-longest-played series in program history against Western Illinois. As the Braves enter September, they will encounter four teams that were either ranked in 2023 or were a part of the 2023 Men's College Cup Field (Xavier, Green Bay, Missouri St, and SIUE).
As the calendar flips to October the Braves will be a well-traveled group, playing four road matches in their final six games. They'll begin that stretch by making trips to do battle with Belmont and Kentucky. Bradley will then begin the final stretch of the 2024 regular season with a home match against their longest-running rival in Drake followed by two matches against teams who finished in the top three of the MVC last season (UIC and Western Michigan). For BU's final game, they will welcome in Northern Illinois.
