ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The University of Michigan Athletic Department announced Thursday (Jan. 30) the addition of the University of Connecticut to the non-conference football schedule in 2022. The Wolverines and Huskies will meet on the gridiron during the third week of the season, Sept. 17, 2022, at Michigan Stadium.

 

This will be the third-ever meeting between the two programs, with the Wolverines claiming victories in the first two match-ups. Michigan hosted UConn in the rededication of Michigan Stadium, a 30-10 win on Sept. 4, 2010, and followed up with a 24-21 victory in the return game held at Rentschler Field on Sept. 21, 2013.

 

The Wolverines will play the first four games of the 2022 season at Michigan Stadium and six of their first seven contests will be held at home. The Huskies will be the third and final non-conference opponent for the Wolverines after facing Colorado State and Hawaii during the first two weekends at the Big House.
