Boise State Athletics has scheduled a home-and-home football series with UCF, Director of Athletics Curt Apsey announced Tuesday.

The Broncos will open week one of the 2021 season at Spectrum Stadium in Orlando, Fla., and the Knights will make the return trip to Albertsons Stadium in Boise, Sept. 9, 2023.

“We are excited to have this series on the schedule, and thrilled to be able to bring our fans another marquee game on The Blue,” Apsey said. “I believe this is a match-up that college football fans throughout the country want to see, and one that our student-athletes will be excited to play.”

Boise State and UCF have not previously met in football.

To accommodate the series with UCF, the Broncos have moved their 2021 game at Houston to the 2025 season, and their 2023 game against Rice to 2029.

For the 2021 nonconference slate, the Broncos will now play on the road against UCF and BYU, and home games against UTEP and Oklahoma State. In 2023, nonconference tilts will be played at home against both Oregon State and UCF, and on the road against Michigan State and BYU.

Boise State has played just two games against the American Athletic Conference, going 2-0 against Connecticut. However, against schools that currently comprise the league, the Broncos are 10-1 all-time. Boise State is 6-0 against Tulsa, and 2-0 against both SMU and UConn. The only blemish came against East Carolina in the 2007 Sheraton Hawaii Bowl.
