The Buffalo Bulls have added the Stony Brook Seawolves to their 2028 football schedule, the school announced Thursday.

Buffalo will host Stony Brook at UB Stadium in Buffalo, NY on Saturday, September 9, 2028. The game will mark the third meeting between the two schools on the field.

The Bulls have beaten the Seawolves in their previous two meetings, 35-7 in 2011 and 26-23 in five overtimes in 2013. Both contests were played at UB Stadium.

Stony Brook competes in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The Seawolves finished the 2022 season 2-9 on aggregate and 1-7 in CAA action.

With the addition of Stony Brook, Buffalo has tentatively wrapped up its non-conference schedule for the 2028 season, which begins with a trip to face Ohio State on Sept. 2. The Bulls are also set to host UMass on September 16 and travel to UConn the following week on September 23.

Buffalo also officially announced future games against Lafayette in 2024 and St. Francis U. in 2025 today, but those two competitions had already been reported.

The Buffalo Bulls are Stony Brook’s first known non-conference opponent for the 2028 season.

Other Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) opponents on future Stony Brook schedules include Arkansas State (2023), Marshall (2024), Western Michigan (2024), San Diego State (2025), and Ball State (2026).
