Rutgers Adds UConn and LIU to Future Football Schedules
23 Apr
Summary
- Rutgers will host UConn for home and away games in 2028 and 2029.
- LIU will play Rutgers at home during the 2027 football season.
- This move enhances Rutgers' out-of-conference schedule with Northeast flavor.
Rutgers football is set to face UConn in a home-and-home series during the 2028 and 2029 seasons. This renewal of a past rivalry between former Big East opponents sees Rutgers adding a familiar foe to its future schedule. The Scarlet Knights also announced they will host Long Island University (LIU) for a football game in the 2027 season, marking the first gridiron meeting between the two programs.
These scheduling additions align with Rutgers' ongoing effort to inject a distinct Northeast character into its out-of-conference matchups. This strategic approach is already evident in the current season's schedule, which features games against UMass and Boston College. The confirmed 2027 home games include Akron, Boston College, Long Island, Maryland, Northwestern, Ohio State, and Washington.
