USF vs. Kent State — Saturday, October 17, 2026 (Homecoming) Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL. Kickoff TBD. This game anchors USF’s October home schedule. USF designated the Kent State matchup as its 2026 Homecoming, sponsored by Florida Blue, with a 30th Anniversary Acrylic Commemorative Ticket honoring the first ticket ever issued for South Florida football, available to the first 5,000 fans. That detail makes this the most historically significant home game of the month. It lands in the program’s 30th season and its final year at Raymond James Stadium, so the commemorative ticket functions as a genuine keepsake. That significance is already showing up in demand, with resale entry prices tracked in the low teens. Homecoming weekends also draw alumni and student crowds that lift the atmosphere well above a standard mid-season conference game.

USF vs. UAB — Saturday, October 31, 2026 (Halloween Black Out) Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL. Kickoff TBD. A Halloween game at a 65,000-seat stadium with a coordinated Black Out theme creates a distinct environment. USF Athletics confirmed the Black Out/Halloween designation, sponsored by LifeLink, with Black Out themed rally towels for the first 10,000 fans. For the Oct. 31 Black Out/Halloween home game vs. UAB, USF is expected to wear its green home uniform, with a real chance the Bulls could use their black alternate. According to TixScape’s comparison of resale sources, get-in prices for the South Florida Bulls vs. UAB Blazers game at Raymond James Stadium on Oct. 31, 2026 start at $9.31 (from viagogo and StubHub). That figure makes this the most accessible ticket of the month. Halloween night, a themed uniform, and a coordinated crowd giveaway combine to create an atmosphere unique among USF’s home games. Fans who want a themed occasion rather than a pure football focus will likely circle this date.

USF at UTSA — Thursday, October 8, 2026 (Road Game) Alamodome, 100 Montana St, San Antonio, TX 78203. Kickoff 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN or ESPN2. This matchup is USF’s lone road game in October, so Tampa-based fans would need to travel to San Antonio. The Alamodome seats up to 71,296 for its largest full-stadium in-the-round configuration. [UTSA Athletics has confirmed ESPN’s SportsCenter on Campus will broadcast live from the H-E-B Plaza ahead of kickoff](https://news.utsa.edu/2026/10/utsa-athletics-to-host-espn-sportscenter-on-campus-at-alamodome-oct-8). Rowdy Town Live opens at 3 p.m., and stadium doors open at 5 p.m. The national ESPN broadcast and the pregame production frame this as a primetime midweek event. Ticket prices for the matchup have been listed in the mid-teens on some platforms. On the field, USF enters at 4-1 and 1-1 in the American Conference, while UTSA was 4-1 and 1-0 heading into the week. For fans building a trip around the game, San Antonio’s River Walk and nearby neighborhoods strengthen the travel case. VIA Park & Ride service runs roundtrip to the Alamodome for $2.60, and rideshare drop-off for Alamodome events is in Lot D on the west side of I-37 behind the Henry B. González Convention Center, accessed via Tower of the Americas Way between Montana and César E. Chávez Blvd. ## Past Game: USF vs. Temple — Saturday, October 3, 2026 This October slate opened with a conference home game against Temple at Raymond James Stadium. Final score: [Temple 17, USF 13](https://cbssports.com/college-football/gametracker/recap/NCAAF_20261003_TEMPLE@SFLA). Temple quarterback Ajani Sheppard scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 34-yard run with 3:08 remaining, capping a 10-play, 96-yard drive. USF kicker Nico Gramatica converted field goals of 35 and 49 yards, and D.J. Crowther added a 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. USF did not score on its final two possessions, and the loss moved the Bulls to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the American Conference. ## Additional Mentions: Bye Week And November Games After the UAB game on October 31, USF’s October schedule is complete, but the season continues into November. [USF has an open date, a bye week, on Saturday, October 24, 2026](https://sportsbrackets.net/2026/05/28/2026-south-florida-football-schedule), with no game scheduled. Fans planning ahead for November have two more home games at Raymond James Stadium: Memphis on Thursday, November 12 (8 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN2, Salute to Service theme) and Tulane on Friday, November 27 or Saturday, November 28 (Senior Day/Night and Fan Appreciation, sponsored by Morgan & Morgan), with the Tulane game’s final date, time, and television designation to be determined by October 11. Secondary-market resale prices for USF’s November 2026 home games were tracked by SeatData at get-in prices of $18 for the Nov. 12 Memphis game and $18 for the Nov. 27 Tulane game, with other marketplaces listing Memphis from about $19–$20 and Tulane from about $16. Those figures sit above the October home dates and reflect the higher stakes of late-season conference play. The Tulane game on Nov. 27 or Nov. 28, 2026, closes out USF’s home schedule at Raymond James Stadium before the move to an on-campus stadium in 2027. ## Patterns, Themes, And Takeaways The two remaining October home games each carry a distinct identity. Homecoming on October 17 is the month’s highest-demand date, with the 30th Anniversary commemorative giveaway and tightening resale availability both pointing to strong interest. The Halloween Black Out on October 31 is the most accessible entry point by price and the most atmosphere-driven by theme. Both games sit inside the final season at Raymond James Stadium, adding a sense of finality that sets them apart from a typical mid-season conference game. USF’s new on-campus stadium opens with its first event on Sept. 4, 2027, when the Bulls host Louisville, and the 2026 season serves as the last at Raymond James. The program first took the field in 1997, making 2026 its 30th season. USF went 9-4 in 2025, earned a third straight bowl appearance, and made the program’s first College Football Playoff ranking appearance. Entering its October 3, 2026 game against Temple, USF was 4-0 (1-0 American) and first in the American Conference standings before suffering its first loss of the season. The program’s upward trajectory heading into a new venue makes the remaining Raymond James dates a final chance to see this version of the team in this building. ## Practical Reader Guidance Single-game tickets for USF’s 2026 football season, including the October home games against Kent State (Oct. 17) and UAB (Oct. 31), are on sale now through Ticketmaster or by calling 1-800-GoBulls (1-800-462-8557).

Entry-level prices for October home games currently sit in the single digits to low teens, and the UAB game mentioned above starts at $9.31. Raymond James Stadium sits in Tampa and is accessible by car, rideshare, and public transit.

González Convention Center. The Alamodome’s Clear Bag Policy applies to all UTSA football games. Arriving early for Homecoming on October 17 increases the chance of receiving the 30th Anniversary Acrylic Commemorative Ticket, limited to the first 5,000 fans. For the Halloween Black Out on October 31, the rally towel giveaway extends to the first 10,000 fans, a larger threshold but still finite. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What Are The South Florida Bulls’ Remaining Home Games In October 2026?
