CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia and Vanderbilt have come to an agreement on a football home-and-home series set to take place in Nashville in 2028 and Charlottesville in 2031. It will be the first meeting on the gridiron between the two schools since 1975.
The first game of the series is scheduled for Sept. 16, 2028, at FirstBank Stadium in Nashville. The date for the matchup in 2031 will be announced later. Vanderbilt will be the first SEC team to visit Scott Stadium since 2002, when UVA defeated South Carolina, 34-21, in front of 60,171 fans.
The meeting in 2028 will be the 22nd in an all-time series that was first played in 1895 in Atlanta, a 6-4 Virginia victory. The Commodores own a 12-7-2 advantage in the all-time series.
Virginia now has three non-conference opponents set for the 2028 season - Vanderbilt (Sept. 16), Richmond (Sept. 23) and James Madison (TBA).
