Memphis Finalizes 2027 Football Schedule with Toledo Home-and-Home Series
The University of Memphis has finalized its 2027 nonconference football schedule by agreeing to a home-and-home series with the University of Toledo.
Toledo, OH, September 27, 2026 — The University of Memphis has taken a significant step in shaping its 2027 nonconference football schedule by announcing an agreement for a home-and-home series with the University of Toledo. This agreement marks a key development in the Tigers’ future scheduling as they prepare for the upcoming collegiate football seasons.
A home-and-home series is a common format in college football scheduling, where two teams agree to play each other twice over a set period, with each team hosting one game at their respective home stadium. This structure allows for strategic planning for both programs, offering fans the opportunity to see their team compete against an opponent both at home and on the road. The exact dates for the 2027 games, including which university will host the first contest and the subsequent return game, were not immediately provided.
The University of Memphis, a member of the American Athletic Conference, will be looking to establish a strong nonconference slate to complement its conference play. The addition of the University of Toledo, a member of the Mid-American Conference, to their 2027 schedule indicates a strategic approach to nonconference matchups. While details regarding the specific benefits or motivations behind this particular pairing are not available, such agreements are typically made years in advance to accommodate travel, financial considerations, and competitive balance.
The finalization of this series contributes to the University of Memphis’s efforts to build out its future football calendar. College football schedules are complex, often planned five to ten years in advance, and involve numerous negotiations between athletic departments. The specific terms of this agreement, beyond the home-and-home nature, have not been disclosed. Further details regarding the timing and location of these contests are expected to be released by the University of Memphis athletic department as the 2027 season draws nearer.
