This year’s matchup with the Bulls will be held at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Saturday Nov. 26 and will kickoff at either 7 or 7:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast on either ESPN2 or ESPNU and will be determined after all conference games conclude on Nov. 19 according to AAC officials. 

With UCF Moving to the Big 12 conference next year, The UCF and USF athletic programs have not scheduled or made any indication that the in-state rivalry will continue after the 2022 season. 

After losing their first 4 matchups with the Bulls that started in 2005, the Knights now lead the all-time football series 7-6, with the opportunity to pick up their eighth and final victory over USF in just under two weeks. 

For now, the Knights are still in the driver’s seat to win their final AAC Conference Championship and will have to first take on Navy this Saturday in their final regular-season home game of the 2022 campaign.  

The game will kickoff at 11 a.m. and will be broadcast on ESPN2.
