By Kevin Kelley -

The Incarnate Word Cardinals have added 21 games involving 13 opponents to their future football schedules, UIW interim Athletics Director Richard Duran announced on Thursday.

Seven of the 13 opponents have already been announced by other schools or were previously reported by FBSchedules.com through open records requests.

New home-and-home series revealed by Incarnate Word today include Northern Colorado (2023 away; 2024 home), Samford (2025 away, 2026 home), and Southern Utah (2025 home, 2027 away). UIW has also added a four-game, home-and-home series with Northern Arizona (2024 and 2027 home; 2025 and 2026 away).

Previously announced or reported home-and-home series included in their announcement are Prairie View A&M (2021 home; 2022 away) and Southern Illinois (2022 home; 2024 away).

New single-games revealed by UIW today include a trip to face UTEP and a home contest against Robert Morris, both in 2023.

Single-games previously announced that were included in today’s release are at Baylor (2020), vs. Presbyterian (2020), at Youngstown State (2021), at Texas State (2021), and at Nevada (2022).

Incarnate Word has also published their Southland Conference football schedule through the 2024 season. Those games can be found on UIW’s season schedule pages. UIW will play a nine-game conference schedule in 2020, but will move to eight games beginning in 2021.
