The University of South Carolina and the University of North Carolina football programs announced that they have mutually agreed to cancel their home-and-home football series for the 2028 and 2029 seasons. In a related move, South Carolina has added Bowling Green State University to its 2028 schedule.<\/p>\n
The Tar Heels were scheduled to play at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C., on Sept. 2, 2028, with the Gamecocks making the return trip to Kenan Memorial Stadium in Chapel Hill on Sept. 1, 2029.<\/p>\n
Both the SEC and ACC are moving to nine-game conference schedules in 2026.<\/p>\n
The Tar Heels lead the all-time series between the two bordering flagship state universities by a 35-20-4 margin, but the Gamecocks have won seven of the last 10 meetings, dating back to 1988. The teams last met in Charlotte to open the 2023 season.<\/p>\n
Bowling Green and South Carolina will open the 2028 slate at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia on a date to be determined. This will mark the first time that the Falcons, out of the Mid-American Conference, and Gamecocks will meet on the gridiron.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The University of South Carolina and the University of North Carolina football programs announced that they have mutually…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":898377,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2026],"tags":[235,9544,37060,37058,7,8352,37059,4278,1686,9653],"class_list":["post-898376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-carolina","tag-columbia","tag-featured-articles-home-page","tag-fighting-gamecocks","tag-football","tag-gamecocks","tag-headlines-home-page","tag-south-carolina-gamecocks","tag-south-carolina","tag-usc"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116619572948577244","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/898376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=898376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/898376\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/898377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=898376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=898376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=898376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
