We have the UVA Football schedule for the 2026 season; the best games are on the road, and neutral sites in Charlotte and Brazil.

We already knew that, of course. We just have the dates now.

Good news: only one back-to-back at home, and that’s not until November.

Bad news: all the good games being away from Charlottesville.

NC State, in Week 0, in Brazil, a million miles away; West Virginia, in Week 3, in Charlotte.

At Florida State and at SMU in October.

The best home games are Duke and UNC.

The September home games are Norfolk State and Delaware.

Holy bejeezus.
