Although the college football world is on shaky ground and is expected to drastically change in 2025, BYU is chugging ahead as usual.
On Thursday, BYU announced a home-and-home arrangement with Miami. The Hurricanes would host the first matchup in 2026 and the Cougars would host in 2028.
“We are excited to announce this series with Miami,” BYU director of athletics Tom Holmoe said in a statement. “We are always looking for opportunities to schedule storied football programs like Miami. Traveling to ACC country and competing in an NFL stadium will be a great experience for our coaches, players and fans. We are also excited to have the Hurricanes return to LaVell Edwards Stadium. I was a graduate assistant at BYU in 1990 when Miami came to Provo. It was one of the great games in BYU football history.”
The Cougars face the Hurricanes on Sept. 19, 2026 at Hard Rock Stadium in Florida. Miami will come to LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo on Sept. 2, 2028.
The last time both programs met was in 1990 when then-No. 16 BYU upset No. 1 Miami 28-21 in Provo.
With the addition of those games, BYU would have half of its 2026 schedule set. The Cougars are currently set to host Arizona, Boise State and Utah State, and are playing at Stanford and Troy.
As far as the 2028 schedule, the Cougars already have Ole Miss and Boise State, as well as an away contest at Stanford on deck.
