UCF has agreed to host FIU at Acrisure Bounce House Stadium in a non-conference matchup set for Sept. 7, 2030.

The two schools announced the deal on Tuesday as the Knights continue to fill out their future football schedule.

This would be the seventh meeting between the two in-state programs, but the first since Aug. 31, 2017. UCF holds a 4-2 record against the Panthers in the series, with the only losses coming in 2011 (17-10) and 2015 (15-14).

The deal with FIU gives UCF two non-conference opponents for the 2030 season. The Knights are scheduled to host Florida as part of a 2-for-1 deal with the Gators.

UCF athletics director Terry Mohajir previously stated that his non-conference scheduling philosophy would have the Knights face a Power Five opponent, a Group of Five opponent, and a school from the Football Bowl Subdivision.

UCF’s future non-conference schedule is filled through 2029, but there are holes in 2030 (one spot), 2031 (two spots) and 2032 (three spots).
