6/2/2021 2:00:00 PM | Football
Today Director of Athletics Nathan Pine announced a number of upcoming football series in future years. The future Air Force football schedules are highlighted by visits to Falcon Stadium from Colorado, Baylor and New Mexico State.
Colorado comes to Falcon Stadium on Sept. 10, 2022 as a return trip to a two-game series which began with Air Force's thrilling 30-23 overtime win in Boulder in 2019. The Falcons also have upcoming home-and-home series with the Big 12's Baylor and Independent New Mexico State.
Air Force plays at New Mexico State, Sept. 9, 2023, and at Baylor, Sept. 7, 2024. The Aggies come to Falcon Stadium, Sept. 13, 2025, while Baylor heads to Colorado Springs, Sept. 18, 2027.
Colorado is the first team from a Power 5 conference to visit Falcon Stadium since California in 2004, while Baylor is the first home-and-home series with a Power 5 team since the Colorado series which began in 2019.
"We are pleased to announce these important upcoming football games both home and away," Pine said. "Our scheduling approach to a 5-year cycle will be a home-home series with a Power 5 opponent, a home-home series with a Group of 5 opponent and one high profile game on the road. When scheduling away opponents, we look to try to visit strategic recruiting regions, areas with strong alumni support, and schools with Air Force bases near them. The home FCS opponent on opening weekend annually is also an important institutional priority and gives the Academy the ability to ensure a home game to build Parent's Weekend around following Basic Cadet Training. Football scheduling will always be a moving target and our success sometimes makes it challenging so we remain flexible while trying to ensure attractive home games for our local fans and great away games to best showcase Air Force Football nationally."
