LOGAN — As the summer heats up and football practices begin, the coaches and players of Utah State found out just exactly who they'd be playing over the next five seasons, as the final pieces of the 2024 through 2027 schedules were put together, with Utah State agreeing to a home and home series with both Bowling Green and Navy, while signing an agreement with Notre Dame for a "two for one" series, with Notre Dame hosting two games in South Bend, while playing a third game at a neutral site, similar to the current three game contract with Michigan.

With the new additions to the future schedule, Utah State will travel to Notre Dame in 2024 and 2025, take a one year hiatus and then close out the Notre Dame series at a neutral location yet to be determined in 2027. Utah State will begin the Navy series in 2025 hosting the Midshipmen at Romney Stadium, followed by a visit to Annapolis in 2026. And Utah State will also open the Bowling Green series in front of friendly fans in 2026, before making the return trip to Doyt L. Perry Stadium in 2027.

A year ago, during the summer of 2022, the Utah State athletic department also announced extensions to the annual Beehive Boot series with both BYU and Utah, extending both of those fierce rivalry series through the 2027 season.

The new series with Notre Dame and Navy extends the list of highly competitive non-conference opponents on the schedules of the Aggies, that have seen Utah State in recent years play the likes of Auburn, BYU, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas A&M, Tulsa, USC, Utah and Wisconsin.
