The UConn Huskies and Miami (Ohio) RedHawks have scheduled a home-and-home football series for the 2026 and 2030 seasons, both schools announced Tuesday.
In the first game of the series, UConn will travel to face Miami at Yager Stadium in Oxford, Ohio, on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026. The Huskies will then host the RedHawks at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Conn., four seasons later on Saturday, Sept. 21 2030, which will conclude the two-game series.
The 2026 UConn at Miami (Ohio) contest will mark the first-ever meeting between the two schools on the gridiron.
UConn was previously scheduled to host the Indiana Hoosiers on Sept. 26, 2026, so that game will likely be rescheduled or canceled. The game was the second of a home-and-home series that began with the Huskies traveling to face the Hoosiers in Bloomington, Ind., during the 2019 season.
UConn, a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) Independent, has all 12 of its opponents scheduled for 2026, although that is subject to change. The Huskies are slated to host Lafayette, Maryland, Syracuse, UMass, and James Madison and travel to North Carolina, Miami (Ohio), Temple, Air Force, Duke, Old Dominion, and Wyoming.
With the addition of UConn, Miami (Ohio) has tentatively completed its non-conference slate for the 2026 season. The RedHawks are scheduled to open the season on the road against the Pitt Panthers on Sept. 5. Miami will then host the Holy Cross Crusaders on Sept. 12 before facing the Cincinnati Bearcats at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Sept. 19.
FOOTBALL SCHEDULES
I think the North Carolina-UConn series may be flipping with UConn hosting in 2026. North Carolina’s website is reflecting this, although nothing on UConn’s end indicates that. This makes sense give UConn six home games in 2026. UConn also already has seven home games in 2027 so even if the UNC game flips, it would still have six home games.

UNC’s website has reflected that for a couple of years now. We have never obtained any contracts or amendments to support it.
Their future schedule page is also like many others, rarely updated and missing games.
UConn should be in the MAC for football only. if the ACC or Big 12 had wanted them they’d be in already.
God no to the MAC. Much better schedule as a Indy.
Z-Man forget about it you should not be involved with CFB programs & you control which conference they should be in it’s their decision where they want to be not Z-Man & you are being very bossy.
Mike I fully support UConn Football as an Indy for Football.
Z-Man have many obscured proposals & it’s getting tiresome.
Better schedule at the cost of CFP access. It works for ND because they are a national brand in football. UConn is only one in basketball.
Sorry to intimate you Z-Man I do not support your comments buddy.
Dan, Zman can think and say whatever he wants. Just like you can. You think anyone cares what you think the game on CBS should be or what games you want on thanksgiving weekend?
Illininoles97 My big concern with Z-Man he takes his proposals seriously & he wants it to happen like there no tomorrow.
When there Big Ten games that I want CBS to show I do it for fun of it & if FOX Big Noon Saturday or Here Comes Saturday Night NBC wants to do Big Ten game that excellent with me.
Another issue I have with Z-man he wants 60 games be played on Thanksgiving weekend & that is ridiculous & I have a lot of respect of Conferences to decide what games are to be played on Thanksgiving weekend 95% of time & My quad-favorites are Michigan-Ohio State, Northwestern-Illinois, Arizona State-Arizona & Georgia-Georgia Tech other than that I lead up it up to Conferences.
Just want to let you know that I really like to share my thoughts.
Goes to show how much Uconn has in scheduling leverage as an Independent when not being able to host the 2026 event.
I pray for UConn that they will do their very best as Independent in Football.
