Bulls get home and away opponents for 14th season in The American

TAMPA, FLA., OCT. 14, 2025 – South Florida football learned its home and away opponents for the 2026 American Conference season Tuesday when the conference announced matchups for all 14 teams.

The 2026 season will mark the Bulls 14th in The American and the last to feature home games in Raymond James Stadium as South Florida opens an on-campus stadium in 2027.

The American Conference foes coming to Tampa include perennial conference contenders Memphis and Tulane as well as Temple and UAB.

The Bulls will make road trips to Army, ECU, FAU and UTSA. It will mark the Bulls first game against Army as an American Conference member and first trip to Army since a 28-0 victory in 2003. The Bulls won in their last strip to FAU (2024) and fell in their last trips to UTSA (2023) and ECU (2021).
