While the program has only been in existence since 2013, the UNC-Charlotte 49ers continue to add heavyweights to its non-conference football schedule.
The latest addition will be the Florida football team when the 49ers travel to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to take on the Gators on Sept. 23, 2023, according to the UNC-Charlotte football website.
It will mark the first time the Gators have played Charlotte in Division I football.
“We’re thrilled to play the Gators in one of college football’s most iconic stadiums, The Swamp,” said Charlotte Director of Athletics Mike Hill, who served as Executive Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs at Florida prior to joining the 49ers.
