Baylor University’s football team will play its upcoming game against the University of Central Florida on Oct. 30 in Orlando, according to an announcement from the Big 12 Conference office on Apr. 10.
The change affects Baylor’s schedule as they travel to face UCF at the Acrisure Bounce House stadium. Details about television coverage for the matchup will be released later.
This game marks Baylor’s return to UCF after a notable comeback victory in Orlando during the 2023 season, when the Bears overcame a significant deficit and won 36-35. Since UCF joined the Big 12 Conference, Baylor has won both meetings between the teams, including a decisive win with a score of 30-3 at McLane Stadium in 2025.
In addition to regular season preparations, Baylor will host its spring practice finale event, known as Baylor Fan Fest, on April 25 at McLane Stadium.
Looking ahead, Baylor is set to begin its 2026 football season on Sept. 5 with a game against Auburn in Atlanta.
