On May 28, the American Athletic Conference announced the format and opponents for the 2014–15 conference schedule.

UConn (home) and Temple (away) were the two teams the Cougars played just once this season. On July 18, the team announced participation in the championship pairings of the 2014 Continental Tire Las Vegas Classic, alongside Boise State, Texas Tech, and Loyola–Chicago at the Orleans Arena. Two on-campus games preceded the Las Vegas-hosted games, with one at South Carolina State. In August, ESPN reported that Houston's visit to Harvard for a game on November 25. The remainder of the Cougars' schedule was announced by the American Athletic Conference on August 28.
