More evidence BYU plans to play football this fall: Cougars add Sept. 26 matchup with Troy to schedule

PROVO — BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe continues to doggedly pursue replacement games for the Cougars’ depleted 2020 football schedule, adding the Troy Trojans of the Sun Belt Conference on Thursday to offer more evidence that independent BYU fully intends to play on the gridiron this fall.

Troy, which is based in south-central Alabama, will visit LaVell Edwards Stadium on Sept. 26, which right now would be the Cougars’ home opener. The game will be televised by an ESPN network; Kickoff time has yet to be announced.

The Cougars will return the game on Sept. 5, 2026, at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Troy, Alabama.
