The University of South Florida has unveiled its schedule for the upcoming 2026 season on Thursday, marking the first slate under first-year head coach Brian Hartline for USF’s 30th anniversary and final season at Raymond James Stadium.
Hartline who spent eight seasons at Ohio State, has reshaped the roster through the transfer portal, bringing in a class that ranks 53rd on 247Sports and is expected to compete immediately.
After finishing last season 9-4 and tied for second in the American at 6-2, USF looks to build off that momentum with the transfer class that Hartline has brought in. The Bulls will face Tulane on Nov. 27 or 28 and a road contest at East Carolina, which placed first and second, respectively, in the American last season.
Non-Conference matchups include an in-state battle against Florida International University for the season opener on Sept. 5, Delaware State, Bowling Green and Kent State, which was previously Alabama but was pushed back to 2032.
