The Michigan Wolverines have added the Charlotte 49ers to their 2028 football schedule, according to an official announcement Friday.
Michigan will host Charlotte at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor on Saturday, September 9, 2028. The game will mark the first-ever meeting between the two schools on the gridiron.
Michigan holds a 24-10-1 overall record against current members of the American Conference, while Charlotte is winless in four previous contests against Big Ten opponents.
Charlotte becomes the second non-conference opponent officially added to Michigan’s 2028 slate, joining a home contest against Central Michigan on September 2. That leaves the Wolverines with one non-league opening.
The Big Ten has not yet revealed the conference opponents for each member for the 2028 season, but Michigan should have five home games and four road tilts.
With the addition of the trip to Ann Arbor, Charlotte now has three of its four non-conference opponents set for 2028. The 49ers are also slated to host Charleston Southern on Sept. 2 and travel to Appalachian State on Sept. 16.

Michigan and Miami (FL) should schedule a series for 2028 and 2031.
Michigan & Miami (FL) would make an excellent future AFLAC opening kickoff game in Atlanta.

Big Ten actually has released their 2028 opponents
Nice to see Michigan NOT have an FCS team on any future schedule. The SEC teams should take a cue from the Wolverines!
Ole Miss would make an excellent SEC opponent for Go Blue at Big House in Ann Arbor & New Nissan Stadium Nashville would make a nice neutral site with Ole Miss as home team.
Really. Charlotte couldn’t beat Mercer!
When you schedule a midget, the fact that you scheduled a midget a few inches taller than other midgets is nothing to be proud of.
Never forget how midget Appalachian State once took down Michigan. And in the Big House, no less.

Agreed on the desirability of a Michigan-Miami series. I don't believe the Wolverines have ever played a regular season game in Florida, so series with Florida or FSU would also be OK. Additionally, I don't think Michigan has ever played a regular season game in Arizona- unique among traditional Big Ten members. A series with either Arizona or ASU would be great!
Michigan, 22-14, at Miami in Sept 1984.
Whitt needs his cupcake games.
Even as a Michigan supporter, I want cupcake games for Wolverines.
