Two-game home-and-home series begins in 2031 at Utah’s Rice-Eccles Stadium
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah—The Utah football program has scheduled a future home-and-home football series with defending national champion LSU to take place during the 2031 and '32 seasons, the schools jointly announced today.
The two-game agreement will begin Saturday, Sept. 6, 2031 with the Tigers visiting Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium. The Utes will travel to Baton Rouge, La., to face the Tigers on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2032.
"Our aspirations to continue to grow and elevate our football program make opportunities like this especially important," said Director of Athletics Mark Harlan. "For our student-athletes it is an incredible opportunity to play a high-profile opponent in two fantastic environments. It also is incredibly attractive to our fans to host a team like LSU at Rice-Eccles Stadium and to go on the road to Baton Rouge and cheer on their Utes."
Utah and LSU have met twice on the gridiron, with LSU prevailing in both contests. Each was played at LSU, on Nov. 30, 1974 and Nov. 27, 1976.
These two dates with LSU are the furthest into the future Utah has scheduled with any opponent. To see all future games scheduled, click here.
Utah now has 26 non-conference games scheduled between 2020-32, including six against members of the SEC (Florida 2022-23, Arkansas 2026 & '28, LSU 2031-32), two against a Big 12 program (Baylor 2023-24) and seven against BYU (2020-21, 2024-28).
