USF's star-filled non-conference football slate is nearly filled for the next nine seasons.
In the wake of recent splash additions to the non-league schedule (i.e. Miami, Alabama), the Bulls revealed Thursday morning they will host Division I-AA foes Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman a total of five times between 2020 and ’27.
As a result, all except two non-conference slots are filled on the Bulls’ schedule through ’27.

“Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman both have deep traditions and passionate fan bases and we look forward to a great atmosphere in Raymond James Stadium for these games,” USF athletic director Michael Kelly said in a school news release.
The Rattlers will visit Raymond James Stadium on Sept. 18, 2021; Sept. 23, 2023; and Sept. 18, 2027. B-CU comes to Tampa for its first game ever against USF on Sept. 12, 2020, and returns on Sept. 26, 2026.
