Buffalo's 1958 team won the Lambert Cup as the best small-college team in the East, earning an invitation to the Tangerine Bowl. But the bowl's sponsor said two Black players, Mike Wilson and Willie Evans, could not play, and the team turned down the bid rather than play without them. The Bulls compete in the Mid-American Conference and play at Broadview Stadium, formerly UB Stadium, which opened in 1993 and seats 30,270; the new name was announced in March 2026. Below you'll find each game of the season, with times and channels updated as networks make their picks.
