UNLV has added a brand new opponent to its future schedule, as the team announced a series with Army. The two schools have never met in football.

The Rebels will host the Black Knights in 2024 and return the favor with a trip to West Point in 2028.

In a statement UNLV athletic director Desiree Reed-Francois said, “This matchup has been in the works for a while and will no doubt be a memorable series that offers Army fans from across the West a chance to see their program appear in Las Vegas. Of course, it is also a special opportunity whenever you play at West Point.”

Army has drastically improved over the last three years. After going 2-10 in 2015, Army has been to three straight bowl games and posted a 29-10 record over the last three seasons.

2015 was Tony Sanchez’s first year as the head coach of UNLV, as he turned in a 3-9 record. In the following three seasons, Sanchez has gone 13-23.

Army will be added to a long list of future opponents. UNLV has beefed up the schedule with power conference opponents in the coming years.
