Florida Atlantic University (FAU) and the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) have announced a home-and-home football series set for the 2026 and 2027 seasons, marking a new non-conference matchup for both programs. The Owls will host the first game in Boca Raton in 2026, while the Warhawks will return the favor in Monroe in 2027.
This scheduling agreement adds to the growing list of future non-conference matchups for both teams and offers an opportunity to further build regional rivalries and competitive matchups. FAU, now a member of the American Athletic Conference (AAC), will look to leverage its evolving program under head coach Tom Herman to gain momentum in future seasons. Meanwhile, ULM, representing the Sun Belt Conference, continues its rebuilding process under head coach Terry Bowden and sees this series as a chance to test its progress against a strong Group of Five opponent.
While the two programs haven’t met frequently in recent history, this series sets the stage for potential storylines, including coaching clashes, emerging talent, and conference pride. As college football fans look ahead to future seasons, these early announcements build anticipation and give supporters plenty to talk about during the offseason.
Dates and kickoff times will be announced closer to the 2026 season. For now, fans can mark their calendars for what promises to be a competitive two-year series between Florida Atlantic and ULM.
