UConn's 2026 season

UConn belongs to no conference, so there is no conference schedule to divide this season into: all 12 games are against Lafayette on Sep 5, Maryland on Sep 12, Southern Miss on Sep 19, Miami (OH) on Sep 26, Syracuse on Oct 3, Temple on Oct 10, Massachusetts on Oct 23, Air Force on Oct 31, North Carolina on Nov 7, James Madison on Nov 14, Old Dominion on Nov 21, Wyoming on Nov 28. Most of those teams have a page of their own here, under their own conference.
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. 3 of these games have no confirmed kick-off time yet and show a “?” rather than a guess. The FBS Independents page puts this season beside the other independent's on one calendar.
Frequently asked questions

How many games does UConn play in 2026?
12 regular-season games: 7 at home at Pratt & Whitney Stadium and 5 away, from Sep 5 to Nov 28. UConn plays in no conference, so every one of them is against a team from another conference or from FCS. Conference championship games, bowls and the College Football Playoff are not included.
Who does UConn play in 2026?
12 games: Lafayette on Sep 5, Maryland on Sep 12, Southern Miss on Sep 19, Miami (OH) on Sep 26, Syracuse on Oct 3, Temple on Oct 10, Massachusetts on Oct 23, Air Force on Oct 31, North Carolina on Nov 7, James Madison on Nov 14, Old Dominion on Nov 21, Wyoming on Nov 28. UConn is an independent — in no conference — so every opponent comes from one, and most of them have a page of their own on this site.
Why do some of UConn's games have no kick-off time?
Because the networks have not chosen it yet. 3 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.
What time do UConn'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.
