The BYU Cougars have announced the addition of four future home-and-home football series, rescheduled several future games, and have also revealed the cancellation of two future series.
The additions and changes come just over one season after BYU left behind its Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) Independent status and joined the Big 12 Conference. That move, along with other realignment around college football, likely led to the additions and changes announced on Wednesday.
Below are details on each of the series added, games rescheduled, and series canceled:
HOME-AND-HOME SERIES ADDED
BYU will host Cal at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah, on Sept. 12, 2026. The Cougars will make the return trip to California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, Calif., on Sept. 11, 2027.
BYU will host Boston College in Provo during the 2028 season and will then travel to face the Eagles at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Mass., in 2029.
The Beavers and Cougars will play their first matchup on Sept. 25, 2027 in Provo. BYU will then visit Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Ore., the following season on Sept. 9, 2028.
BYU will travel to face Colorado State at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, Colo., on Sept. 19, 2026. Three seasons later on Sept. 8, 2029, the Cougars will host the Rams at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
GAMES RESCHEDULED
BYU announced the rescheduling of several future games today. Four of the changes were previously reported and have specific dates set (indicated in parentheses):
| Opponent | Old Date | New Date |
|---|---|---|
| at Northern Illinois | 2020 | 2030 |
| vs SMU | 2027 | 2031 |
| vs Navy | TBD | 2031 |
| vs Michigan State | 2020 | 2032 (Sept. 11) |
| vs Coastal Carolina | TBD | 2033 (Sept. 17) |
| at Virginia Tech | 2026 | 2033 (Sept. 10) |
| vs USF | 2026 | 2034 |
| vs Missouri | 2020 | 2035 (Sept. 8) |
| at Troy | 2026 | 2035 (Sept. 15) |
SERIES CANCELED
BYU announced that a previously scheduled home-and-home series with Army has been canceled. The series was supposed to begin in 2020 in West Point, N.Y., but the game was not played due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The second game was set for Provo in 2032.
A series with the Ole Miss Rebels has also been canceled. The two schools were slated to meet in Provo on Sept. 16, 2028 and in Oxford, Miss., on Sept. 8, 2029.
Maybe, the Ole Miss series was cancelled because the SEC expects to be playing nine conference games by 2028.
Hope it comes sooner than 2028 for SEC.
Who knows what misshapen Blob 1A Football will look like in 5 Years?
More 1A Teams from the Mountain West are being stranded by 2026 when 5 of them assume the Mythical Pacific Athletic Conference 12 name.
The S.E.C. Trust 16 have contributed the Most to the instability with the 4 Team Invite including Alabama every year since it’s start in 2014. The B18g10 Trust has caused close to as much unraveling with the ACC17+ND & the B16g12 Trusts trailing along.
These changes don’t seem less attractive than playing the U.S. Military Academy Black Knights or the Uni. Ole MS Rebel Landsharks ( That’s Uni. ole MS ‘s latest Mascot marketing change).
They cancelled Ole Miss? Wait until Lane Kiffin hears about this!
Lane Kiffin do not care about it all he wants Ole Miss to do is win SEC.
This Georgia Bulldogs Fan have a lot of respect for Lane.
