After years of clamoring for a chance to play the state’s flagship program, the UCF Knights will finally get their chance. UF and UCF announced a three-game series that starts in 2024.
The Gators will host the Knights in 2024 and 2033, while the teams will play in Orlando in 2030.
The schools have only played twice before, both blowout wins by the Gators. Florida won 58-27 in 1999 and 42-0 in 2006. Both of those games were in the Swamp.
UCF is considered one of the top Group of Five programs in the country, and they famously declared themselves the 2017 national champions after going undefeated and beating Auburn in the Peach Bowl.
