UNLV will play USC at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to open the 2027 football season. The meeting, the third in program history, is scheduled for Sept. 4, 2027.
The Trojans will be a Big Ten school at that point, leaving the Pac-12 in 2024.
USC beat UNLV, 43-21, in the most recent meeting between the teams on Sept. 1, 2018. USC also won the first game between the schools in 1997, 35-21.
The Rebels have two more non-conference games scheduled for 2027, hosting Arizona State and Texas-San Antonio. UNLV announced several games for 2023 and 2024 earlier this week, including matchups against the Big 12’s Kansas and soon-to-be Big 12 member Houston.
