TSU will start its third season at the 22,000 seat BBVA Compass stadium with six home games.
Texas Southern will host Texas College on Thursday, September 4th as the first home game of 2014.
"We added Texas College to complete our six home games for the season," said Dr. Charles McClelland, TSU athletics director. "We originally scheduled another FCS team but had to make adjustments because of scheduling conflicts. We appreciate Texas College agreeing to play at this late hour."
The rest of TSU's home schedule includes Alabama A&M on September 20th, Mississippi Valley on October 4th, then Arkansas-Pine Bluff for homecoming on October 25th, Grambling State on November 1st and we end the season with Jackson State on November 15th.
"I believe we have put together a schedule that benefits our season card holders and gives our fans plenty of opportunities to come out and support the Tigers football program and the university," Dr. McClelland said.
The first game of the season is the Labor Day Classic against Prairie View A&M. This season the game will be played on Sunday, August 31st in Reliant Stadium.
"Prairie View game is big for us," said TSU football head coach Darrell Asberry. "We understand the magnitude of this match-up and we will be ready."
The Tigers will play their second non-conference game against Central State (Ohio) on September 13 on the road. TSU also travels to Alabama State, Alcorn and Southern.
"We are really excited about the six home games, and the opportunity to show-off our talent in front of our fans," Asberry said. "We believe our 2014 recruits along with our previous two classes will put us in position to experience greater success."
Texas Southern's home games will again be broadcasted live on KHOU-TV Digital channel 11.2 the Bounce and taped delayed on Comcast SportsNet.
