The Boston College Eagles and UConn Huskies have scheduled a four game, home-and-home football series beginning in 2025, both schools announced Monday.
In the first game of the series, Boston College will host UConn at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Mass., on October 18, 2025. The Eagles will also host the Huskies in Chestnut Hill five seasons later on September 14, 2030.
Boston College will travel to take on UConn twice at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Conn., with the first game set for October 20, 2029. The Huskies will host the Eagles a second time two seasons later on August 30, 2031.
Boston College and UConn have met 16 times previously, most recently during the 2023 season in Chestnut Hill. The Eagles won that contest 21-14 and now lead the overall series, 13-1-2.
The four-game series for Boston College and UConn was announced in conjunction with the release of the 2025 ACC football schedule. Boston College opens the season at home against the Fordham Rams on Aug. 30 before traveling to face the Michigan State Spartans on Sept. 6.
UConn has not officially announced its schedule for next season yet. Based on previous announcements, the Huskies will open the 2025 season at home against the Central Connecticut Blue Devils on Aug. 30 before traveling to face the Syracuse Orange on Sept. 6.
Football Schedules
UConn would be better off joining the MAC as a football only member. It’s gotten to the point where Notre Dame is the only program with a reasonable chance of making the CFP as an independent.
Absolutely not, there are a multitude of very good reasons for UConn to stay independent and stay far far away from the MAC. first of all, UConn is betting on a Big 12 or ACC invite in the next round of realignment and joining the MAC would severely hurt their chances. Second of all, scheduling, UConn gets much better schedules as an independent than they would in the MAC which helps with exposure and building their brand which going back to the first point, helps get a Big 12 or ACC invite. Third of all UConn doesn´t need to make the CFP and they honestly have better chances of getting in as an independent than the MAC because its clear the MWC and AAC are the only leagues that can get their champion in as the G5 representative and being an independent, as I´ve said, gets you much better schedules to potentially get an at large bid. I´m not saying UConn will get in, they have very very low chances, but those chances are still better than the MAC´s. So based on all of this its pretty obvious that UConn is doing the right thing staying independent and not going anywhere near the MAC.
Z-Man Wants To control College Football AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!
Z-Man why don’t give up College Football & get into politics & run for Mayor in Green Bay.
And, fourth, BYUfan …. UConn likes to play football on Saturdays.
In Storrs and Hartford, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are for basketball!
As a Uconn fan no way. Their schedule is much better than a MAC schedule plus they can play on saturdays. They have a stacked transfer class coming in this year.
They’re also trying to get into a P4 conference and the MAC doesn’t help that case at all.
And fifth, the MAC doesn’t want football-only members
