MIAMI – The FIU football program has announced that it will play the University of Buffalo in a two-game non-conference series beginning in 2026.
 
The Panthers and Bulls are slated to open the series on Sept. 12, 2026 (at FIU), before following with a second contest on Sept. 11, 2027 (at Buffalo).
 
"We are looking forward to the addition of Buffalo to our schedule," FIU Director of Athletics Scott Carr said.  "The series also gives our alumni in the northeast region of the country another opportunity to cheer on the Panthers in person."
 
FIU and Buffalo have never met in the sport of football prior to the upcoming series.
