BATON ROUGE – LSU has added four Louisiana teams to its future non-conference football schedule beginning with a game against Northwestern State on Aug. 28, 2027, the school announced on Friday.

Other additions to future LSU football schedules include the Tigers hosting Louisiana-Monroe and Southern in 2028 followed by Tulane in 2030. In 2028, LSU will open the season against ULM on August 26 followed by hosting Southern in week 3 on September 9.

The game against Southern will mark only the second meeting between the teams and the first since 2022 when the Tigers beat the Jaguars, 65-17, in the home opener that year.

In 2030, Tulane will make its first trip to Tiger Stadium since 2009 when LSU hosts the Green Wave in the season-opener on August. 31.

LSU opens the Lane Kiffin era on Saturday, September 5 when the Tigers host Clemson in Death Valley.

Totally disagree. Give the state schools a chance to come get paid. And with a new coach in Faulk I'm glad to see SU coming back to TS

It was the worst Gameday experience that I've ever had. I will be selling those tickets in 2028 and watching from home.

We should be playing them before Southern. Playing Southern is a complete waste of time.

We should play a Week -1 game to give us time to prepare for our week 0 barnburners

I don’t have a problem with playing any of these teams. The trouble is, that it puts a non-competitive game that nobody wants to watch on the season ticket book. Season ticket holders are forced to buy tickets to a blistering hot non-competitive game that nobody wants to watch.

For an opener, I disagree.........Finally, LSU is approaching the schedule to win with a tune-up game.

Do you really want to win so bad that it's worth playing shite teams? I'm a fan bc I enjoy watching competitive games. This shite doesn't move the needle. Plus southern on LSUs campus was a horrible idea last time
