Boston College’s departure from the ACC a decade ago brought an end to their “rivalry” with Rutgers. That regional series has been on hiatus since, but is set to be renewed. Eventually.
FBSchedules.com first reported that the two football programs have reached an agreement on a future home-and-home series. Nj.com subsequently confirmed the initial report.
The Scarlet Knights will travel to Chestnut Hill On Sept. 12, 2026, with the Eagles headed to Piscataway Sept. 11 the following season.
The two teams played each other every year from 1981-2004. The last 14 matchups came when both were members of the Big East.
BC owns a 19-6-1 edge in a series that was first played in 1919. The Eagles own a 13-game unbeaten streak against the Scarlet Knights -- there was a tie in 1994 -- and a 10-game winning streak as well. RU’s last win came in 1991.
