The Colorado Buffaloes have scheduled future home-and-home series with the Florida Gators and the Missouri Tigers, it was announced on Wednesday.

Colorado and Florida will kick off their home-and-home series at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville on Sept. 9, 2028. The Buffaloes will host the Gators the following season at Folsom Field in Boulder on Sept. 8, 2029.

The 2028 contest between Colorado and Florida will be their first-ever meeting on the gridiron, barring a post-season bowl matchup before then.

At present, the game at Colorado will mark Florida’s first non-conference road game outside the state of Florida since a 38-21 loss at Syracuse in 1991.

The Missouri Tigers will travel to take on Colorado in Boulder on Sept. 20, 2025 before the series shifts to Faurot Field in Columbia on Sept. 7, 2030.

Colorado and Missouri last met in 2010 when both schools were members of the Big 12 Conference. Mizzou won that game 26-0 and now leads the overall series 41-31-3.

Colorado also announced today a change to their 2021 football schedule. The Buffaloes were scheduled to open the season at home against UMass on Sept. 4, but that game has been postponed to Sept. 2, 2028.

The Buffaloes will now open their 2021 slate at home against the Northern Colorado Bears. Northern Colorado is a member of the Big Sky Conference in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).

Home contests against the Texas A&M Aggies on Sept. 11 and the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Sept. 18 round out Colorado’s non-conference schedule that season.

With today’s announcement, the Colorado Buffaloes have now finalized their non-conference football schedule through the 2028 season.
