UAB Football Adds Home Games With Central Arkansas And Louisiana

BIRMINGHAM, AL — With teams and conferences scrambling to fill out their schedules for the coming football season amid the COVID-19 pandemic, UAB has been able to schedule 11 games for the season, as Conference USA released its schedule this week.

The Blazers added two home games to its 2020 schedule and will kick the season off in just two weeks on Thursday, Sept. 3, against Central Arkansas at 7 p.m. UAB also reached an agreement with Louisiana for a game at Legion Field on Friday, Oct. 23.

Central Arkansas and Louisiana replace the games against New Mexico State and Alabama A&M that were lost when those teams postponed their seasons earlier this month. These two additional games round out UAB's 2020 slate with the Blazers set to play six home games at Legion Field. Both of these games are pending final contract approval.
