UCLA Football: Bruins Add Fresno State to 2024 Schedule
The UCLA Football program added a third contest with Fresno State in the next decade as the Bruins will take on the Bulldogs in 2024.
Between now and 2024, the UCLA Football team will take on Fresno State three times at the Rose Bowl. UCLA will not be returning the favor and playing up in Central California during that span.
UCLA and Fresno State’s first two match ups in the coming seasons will be in 2018 and 2021.
The UCLA Football program announced the addition to the schedule yesterday, which fills up the second of three non-conference slots for the 2024 season.
The Bruins will be facing the Bulldogs on September 14, 2024, two weeks after they play in Baton Rouge against the LSU Tigers on August 31. That game will only be the second time UCLA and LSU meet as both the Bruins and Tigers are set to play their first ever game against the other at the Rose Bowl in 2021.
When the Bruins meet the Bulldogs in 2024, it will be the 11th time the two teams will have played each other in their series history. As it currently stands, UCLA has a 6-2 series lead.
