Rutgers has added a trio of games to its future schedules, including a home-and-home series with a former Big East rival.

The Scarlet Knights completed their 2027 slate with a home game against FCS opponent Long Island and its 2028 slate with a road meeting with UConn, according to a report from the Bergen Record.

The game against the Huskies is the first half of a home-and-home series, with the return leg being played in Piscataway during the 2029 season.

Rutgers last faced UConn during the 2013 season, suffering a 28-17 loss on the road. The Scarlet Knights have faced the Huskies 33 times, holding a 22-11 lead in the series.

Rutgers went 5-5 against UConn during head coach Greg Schiano’s first stint with the program, winning five of their final seven meetings before he left for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After achieving recent success under Jim Mora Jr., UConn is currently lead by first-year head coach Jason Candle, who joined the program from Toledo this offseason after Mora left for Colorado State. Candle’s offensive coordinator is Nunzio Campanile, who previously served as an assistant coach at Rutgers.

The meeting with LIU will be the first time the programs face off. The Sharks are led by Ron Cooper, who was an assistant coach under Schiano with the Buccaneers during the 2012 season.
