Football to Play Under Friday Night Lights Twice in 2024

LOS ANGELES -- A pair of 2024 UCLA football games have been added to the Big Ten Conference's expanded Friday night package for the program's initial season as a member institution, FOX Sports announced Wednesday.

In the first altered date, the Bruins now welcome last season's Big Ten runner-up Iowa to Rose Bowl Stadium for a 6 p.m. PT homecoming showdown on Friday, Nov. 8. The following week also has a change, as UCLA is now slated to visit league foe and 2023 national runner-up Washington's Husky Stadium at 6 p.m. PT on Friday, Nov. 15. FOX will provide television coverage of both contests.

UCLA will try to improve upon a 7-2 all-time record against Iowa. The programs most recently met in the 1986 Rose Bowl Game, which the Bruins won by a 45-28 count behind Player of the Game Eric Ball, who rushed for 227 yards and four touchdowns.

UCLA holds a 42-32-2 mark versus Washington. The Bruins have won each of the programs' past two meetings, most recently prevailing 40-32 at the Rose Bowl Sept. 30, 2022 – also a Friday night. UCLA also came out on top of a Oct. 16, 2021 tilt at Husky Stadium, beating the Huskies 24-17.

Season tickets for UCLA's inaugural season in the Big Ten are available now at UCLABruins.com/Tickets.
