Louisville's 2026 season

Louisville plays 12 regular-season games in 2026, 6 at home at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium and 6 away, opening on Sep 6 and finishing on Nov 28. 9 of them are ACC games and 3 are not — which is the shape of a college season: a short non-conference run, most of it early, and then two months inside the conference. The longest run at home is 3 games, from Sep 11 to Sep 26; the longest run on the road is 2, from Nov 7 to Nov 14.

The non-conference games are against Ole Miss on Sep 6, Villanova on Sep 11, Kentucky on Nov 28. Those opponents are not in the ACC, so they do not appear as rows on the conference grid — a cell naming one carries a dotted underline there to say so. They are part of this team's season all the same, which is why they are on the grid at all rather than left as blank weeks.

Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. A Saturday-evening game in the United States is the small hours of Sunday morning across Europe, and a game that crosses midnight carries a +1 so it cannot be mistaken for the same evening. 8 of these games have no confirmed kick-off time yet and show a “?” rather than a guess. To see how Louisville's season compares with the rest of the conference — who has the harder stretch, and whose non-conference run is heaviest — the full ACC grid puts all 17 teams side by side.

Frequently asked questions

When does Louisville play next?

Louisville's next game is away at Ole Miss on Sep 6. The list below shows every remaining game, with kick-off times in your own timezone.

How many games does Louisville play in 2026?

12 regular-season games: 6 at home at L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium and 6 away, from Sep 6 to Nov 28. 9 are against ACC opponents and 3 are not. Conference championship games, bowls and the College Football Playoff are not included.

Who does Louisville play outside the ACC in 2026?

3 games: Ole Miss on Sep 6, Villanova on Sep 11, Kentucky on Nov 28. Those opponents are not in the ACC, so they have no row of their own on the conference grid — they are marked there with a dotted underline, and named in full on this page.

Why do some of Louisville's games have no kick-off time?

Because the networks have not chosen it yet. 8 of 12 games have a date but no confirmed time; college football kick-offs are fixed a week or two ahead, and a game can still move to a different day. Those carry a "?" instead of a time, because a placeholder you could not tell from a real time would be worse than none.

Does Louisville play at a neutral site in 2026?

Yes — one game: Nissan Stadium on Sep 6. A neutral venue shows no stadium clock in the game details, because its timezone is not the home team's.

What time do Louisville's games start in my timezone?

Every confirmed kick-off on this page is converted to the timezone your browser reports, with a manual override in the "Times in" control. College football is published in US Eastern time, so a Saturday-evening game there starts in the small hours of Sunday across Europe, and those carry a +1 mark.
