MM 2.28: Maryland football adds two future nonconference games

This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.

Maryland football announced future home matchups against Florida Atlantic (Aug. 30, 2025) and Hampton (Sept. 5, 2026), finalizing the Terps’ nonconference schedule through the 2027 season. Both games will serve as season-openers.

Maryland has never played either team before.

The Terps were originally scheduled to face UCF in a home-and-home series with the first game taking place in 2025, but the series has been canceled, Wes Brown of 247Sports reported.

After kicking off the 2025 campaign against Florida Atlantic, Maryland will host Northern Illinois and Towson. In 2026, after taking on Hampton, it’ll travel to UConn before welcoming Virginia Tech to College Park.

The Terps’ 2027 nonconference slate includes home games against James Madison and Youngstown State and will be capped off on the road against the Hokies. Maryland will again host Virginia Tech in 2028 before traveling back to Blacksburg, Va. in 2029.

Other scheduled nonconference games include a home-and-home series against Wake Forest (2029-30) and a home matchup against Toledo on Sept. 1, 2029.
