MIAMI – The FIU football program has announced that it will play USF in a two-game non-conference series beginning in 2026.
The Panthers and Bulls will begin the two-game series during the 2026 campaign (at USF), before following with a second contest in 2029 (at FIU).
"We are excited to be able to add another in-state opponent to our future football schedules," FIU Director of Athletics Scott Carr said. "We look forward to continuing to build these rivalries against in-state programs and I would like to thank USF Director of Athletics Michael Kelly for his help making this series happen."
FIU and South Florida have met a total of two times previously – with the most recent match up coming during the 2008 season.
