The University of South Florida announced on May 15 that single game tickets for the 2026 Bulls football season are now available. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling the ticket office.
This announcement is significant as it marks the program’s 30th season and introduces Brian Hartline as the new head coach. The Bulls will play seven home games in 2026, which is their highest number since 2019. This will also be their final season at Raymond James Stadium before moving to a new on-campus stadium in 2027.
The team’s schedule includes a home opener against FIU on September 5, with additional non-conference games against Delaware State and Kent State. American Conference matchups at home include Temple, UAB, Memphis, and Tulane. The game against UAB on October 31 will feature black uniforms for a “Black Out” event. The Senior Day/Night matchup with Tulane will have its date and time finalized by October 11.
All teams in the American Athletic Conference will play eight conference games during the season. The top two teams from regular-season standings will compete in the conference championship game scheduled for December 5, which will be broadcast nationally.
The USF football program began in 1997 and has achieved several milestones including an appearance in the College Football Playoff rankings and multiple bowl appearances. Recent years saw construction of a $22-million indoor facility completed in 2023, while work continues on a $349-million stadium set to open by 2027.
