The American Athletic Conference announced the TV schedule for 18 regular season games to be shown on the ESPN family of networks, according to collegefootballtalk.com.
The schedule details what day the games will be played, kick off times, and the respective ESPN channel (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNU, and ESPNNews) where a game will be shown.
Here is the full list below (potential “must-see” games are highlighted):

All 18 of the scheduled games are finalized with ESPN — the network can’t cancel a game even if the participating teams have poor records. Keep in mind, however, that ESPN has the ability to add games to its 2015 college football schedule, as well as bump games that came across as average in the preseason, but became match-ups of highly-ranked teams, to a prime-time slot.
If a few of the preseason contenders in the AAC (Cincinnati, Memphis, Houston, UCF) perform well in non-conference action, or appear set for a possible undefeated season, ESPN may try to schedule a marque AAC conference game during a time slot that typically receives high ratings.
