BIRMINGHAM – The UAB football team and Georgia State will play each other four-consecutive seasons starting in 2027, the two universities announced on Tuesday.
The Panthers will host the Blazers in 2027 and 2029, while UAB welcomes GSU to Birmingham in 2028 and 2030.
Game 1: Sept. 18, 2027 – at Georgia State
Game 2: Sept. 16, 2028 – at UAB
Game 3: Sept. 22, 2029 – at Georgia State
Game 4: Sept. 21, 2030 – at UAB
Separated by just two hours down I-20, the initial game in Atlanta will be the first meeting between the two schools. UAB is 14-12 all-time against Sun Belt opponents, and has three other Sun Belt schools on the non-conference schedule prior to playing Georgia State (South Alabama, Georgia Southern, Louisiana).
UAB returns 18 starters to a team that finished 9-5 last year and won the second most games in school history. Since returning to action in 2017, the Blazers are the winningest team in Conference USA with 28 victories, including back-to-back C-USA West Division titles and being crowned 2018 Conference USA Champions.
With the priority deadline extended to May 15, current football season ticket holders can click here to renew their seats for the 2020 season. Fans interested in purchasing new season tickets can do so for as low as $75 with the Family Four Pack season ticket. As a reminder, 2020 Blazer Boosters members and season ticket holders will have top priority for seats leading into Protective Stadium in 2021.
