The University of Louisiana at Monroe’s football program is set to launch its 2028 campaign with a marquee test against Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.
The contest will be the first time the Warhawks open a season on the Tigers’ storied Death Valley field since 2003, and it also marks the first meeting between the two schools since 2021.
When the programs last collided, LSU secured a 27‑14 victory, a result that continues to shape expectations for the upcoming clash as both teams aim to rewrite the narrative.

ULM athletics director SJ Tuohy expressed gratitude for LSU’s willingness to host the Warhawks, emphasizing that collaborations like this strengthen the fabric of Louisiana’s collegiate sports community.
Tuohy added that institutional support is essential for growth, noting that the partnership reflects a broader commitment among state schools to uplift each other’s athletic ambitions.
Fans on both sides are already marking calendars, anticipating a clash that could set the tone for the season and rekindle a rivalry that has produced memorable moments over the years.
