SALT LAKE CITY—The Utah football program has added two home games against Dixie State to its 2028 and 2030 schedules, the schools announced today.
The first meeting of the two-game agreement will take place Thursday, Aug. 31, 2028, and the second game is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 29, 2030. Both will be played at Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium.
Â
Utah and Dixie State have never met in football. The Trailblazers will become an independent member of the Football Championship Subdivision in the summer of 2020 as the school begins transitioning from Division II to Division I.
Â
The 2028 Utah non-conference slate is now filled with the Dixie State game scheduled to open the season followed by a Sept. 9 date with BYU at Rice-Eccles Stadium and a Sept. 16 road game at Arkansas. The 2030 opener with Dixie State is the first scheduled by Utah for that season.
