Overview

  • Miami and South Carolina announced a mutual cancellation on Oct. 6, scrapping games planned for Columbia in 2026 and Hard Rock Stadium in 2027.
  • The decision follows the SEC and ACC moving to nine conference games starting in 2026, reducing nonconference openings.
  • South Carolina retained its annual Clemson rivalry and currently lists Towson and Clemson on its 2026 nonconference slate while seeking another opponent.
  • Miami’s 2026 nonconference schedule features Florida A&M and Central Michigan at home with Notre Dame on the road.
  • Financial terms were not disclosed, though a 2019 agreement reportedly included a $3 million fee for unilateral cancellation that a mutual decision could avoid.
