LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Football schedules are out and the Universities of Louisville and Kentucky have both got impressive games ahead of them in 2021.

Louisville

UofL travels to Atlanta to start its season with Mississippi in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. It will be the first time UofL and the Ole Miss Rebels have ever played. The Cards will then host seven home games at Cardinal Stadium. It's the first time since 2013 that there are seven home games.

The non-conference games at home for the Cardinals include Eastern Kentucky, UCF, and Kentucky. The ACC teams that will visit Louisville in 2021 include Virginia, Boston College, Syracuse, and Clemson. Five of the last seven games on the schedule are at home. 

The Cards are hoping to rebound from the 4-7 2020 season.

Here's a full look at the Cardinals' schedule.
