ORLANDO (UCFKnights.com) – The UCF football team, coming off of back-to-back perfect regular seasons, has announced its complete schedule for 2019, which includes six home games at Spectrum Stadium.
After starting last year on the road, the Knights will open up 2019 at the comforts of home, hosting Florida A&M on either Thursday, Aug. 29 or Saturday, Aug. 31 (Television TBD). It will mark the fourth time in the last five seasons that UCF has opened up at Spectrum Stadium.
UCF will hit the road for its first road game on Saturday, Sept. 7 at Florida Atlantic. At 2-0 all-time against the Owls after winning 56-36 in 2018, it will mark the Knights’ first game against FAU in Boca Raton.
The following Saturday, Sept. 14, UCF will return home to host Stanford, which makes a return trip to Orlando after hosting the Knights out in California in 2015.
