UAB football has a comeback story few programs can match. The University of Alabama at Birmingham shut the program down after the 2014 season, reinstated it in 2015, and returned to the field in 2017, then won its first conference championship and first bowl game in 2018. The Blazers now play in the American Conference and host games downtown at Protective Stadium, a 47,100-seat venue that opened in October 2021 as part of the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center complex. The full slate follows below; check back as start times and broadcast details are confirmed.
