The University of South Florida has released the kickoff times for six of its upcoming football contests, setting the stage for a season that blends early‑season road tests with a slate of nationally televised night games.
The season opener is slated for September 5 at 7 p.m., when the Bulls travel to face Florida International University in a matchup that will stream live on ESPN+.
Early‑Season Road Tests
A quick turnaround follows with a home game against Delaware State on September 19 at 7 p.m., also on ESPN+. The first road test arrives on September 12 at noon, when South Florida visits Army and the broadcast will be carried by the CBS Sports Network.
Three midweek contests are positioned for primetime exposure: the October 8 trip to the University of Texas at San Antonio, the November 6 home clash with East Carolina University, and the November 12 showdown against the University of Memphis, each scheduled to kick off under the lights.
The regular season will culminate with a game against Tulane University on either November 27 or 28, with the exact date and time to be confirmed by October 11, offering a potential evening slot.
While the announced schedule provides a clear framework, additional kickoff times and network assignments will be released in the coming weeks, allowing the athletics department to fine‑tune broadcast partnerships.
