UVA Football: ‘Hoos to open 2027 season with Week 0 game against Arkansas State

That killer 2027 UVA Football schedule had some deck chairs rearranged on Tuesday, with the news that the Arkansas State game will now be a Week 0 contest on Saturday, Aug. 28, 2027.

Get your tickets now.

UVA-Arkansas State was originally scheduled for Sept. 18, 2027.

A release from UVA Athletics tells us that the schools amended the contract for the game to move it to Week 0.

I should get a FOIA request in to see if we’re paying them more to move the game up three weeks.

The 2027 nonconference schedule has Arkansas State and William & Mary.

Still need one more, against a Power 4.

UVA Football: Why do you play games you know will end up 59-3?

I’m trying to find the value in 59-3 blowouts of FCS teams that won one game last season, to justify leaving the house last night to half-watch a UVA Football game that not even the TV people wanted any part of.
