A renewed rivalry on the horizon
LSU announced a forward‑looking football schedule that will see the Tigers host a marquee non‑conference matchup against Tulane on Aug. 31, 2030, marking the Green Wave’s first visit to Tiger Stadium since 2009.
The game revives a rivalry that stretches back to 1893, known as the Battle for the Rag, and adds a historic chapter to the Tigers’ storied program.
In addition to the Tulane contest, LSU has slated games with Northwestern State University on Aug. 28, 2027, a home clash with the University of Louisiana‑Monroe on Aug. 26, 2028, and a September 9, 2028 meeting with Southern University.
The upcoming slate reinforces LSU’s historical superiority, as the Tigers hold a 9‑0 record over Northwestern State, a 4‑0 edge over Louisiana‑Monroe, and a 65‑17 victory over Southern in their most recent encounter.
Fans can anticipate a series of high‑profile home games that blend tradition with future ambitions, bolstering the program’s excitement and its reputation as a powerhouse in the SEC.
