UCF and UNC announced today that they will play a home-and-home series in football. The Knights will travel to Chapel Hill in 2018 with the Tar Heels making the return trip to Bright House Networks Stadium in 2020.
It's a great addition for the
Knights' future schedules. UCF has historically struggled to schedule
home games with Power Five programs, a fact often lamented by prior head coach George O'Leary.
UCF's only other currently
scheduled out of conference game for 2018 is with Florida Atlantic
University, so some gaps remain to be filled in the near term.
UNC will be UCF's second ACC
foe in 2020. An away game at Georgia Tech is scheduled for September 19,
2020. UCF also has games against AAC opponents scheduled this year
(home versus Maryland) and in 2017 (home versus Georgia Tech, and away
at Maryland).
The agreed series now completes
UNC's 2018 schedule. Their out of conference opponents in 2018 will be
UCF's fellow AAC member ECU, Cal, and the Catamounts of Western
Carolina.
The Knights and Tar Heels have never previously met in football.
