2021 Colorado Buffaloes football schedule

The Colorado Buffaloes must navigate a challenging 12-game schedule to reach another bowl game.

The boys of Boulder are back in action this fall with a hearty 12-game schedule. A year after playing in front of a nearly empty Folsom Field, head coach Karl Dorrell’s Colorado Buffaloes will welcome back fans to experience one of the best atmospheres in college football. In-state rival Northern Colorado will open things up before Texas A&M and Minnesota round out a challenging non-conference slate.

CU’s first road game will be against its first Pac-12 opponent in Arizona Stae on Sept. 25. Following a difficult desert matchup, the Buffs’ journey doesn’t get any easier with USC coming to town on Oct. 2. We’ll see the Buffs battle the Ducks in Eugene and the Beavers come knocking for homecoming on Nov. 6. And for the third consecutive season, Colorado will face Utah to end the regular season.
