MIAMI (July 29, 2019) - FIU has entered into an agreement with UCF to play two games on the gridiron, scheduling a home-and-home series set for 2020 and 2022.

The two squads will play at Spectrum Stadium in 2020, while meeting at Riccardo Silva Stadium in 2022. 

"We're pleased to renew this series with UCF and continue the history between our two schools on the football field," Head Football Coach Butch Davis said. "This game will not only bolster our schedule with another Power 6 foe, but also excite the two fan bases at FIU and UCF. We're also happy to keep a non-conference in-state opponent on our schedule and continue to showcase the great football being played here in Florida."

The Panthers and Knights have met six times on the gridiron, with the last contest coming in 2017. FIU has defeated UCF twice in the head-to-head series, taking 2015's contest in Orlando by a 15-14 margin and the first-ever meeting between the two programs in 2011 by a 17-10 decision in Miami. 

As a reminder, season tickets for the 2019 FIU football season are now on sale. For more information, or to order your tickets by phone, please call (305) FIU-GAME.
