Florida football will face UCF for the fourth time in program history when the two schools meet on Saturday at The Swamp.

The Florida Gators (2-2, 1-1 SEC) are looking to avenge their 29-17 loss to the Knights in the schools' last meeting on December 23, 2021 at the Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa.

UCF (3-1, 1-1 Big 12) travels to The Swamp for the first time since a 42-0 loss to Florida in 2006. Florida holds a 2-1 lead in the series between the two schools, having also beaten UCF 58-27 at The Swamp in 1999.

Florida is coming off an open week after a 45-28 win over Mississippi State on Sept. 21. The win improved Florida to 3-7 in true away games under head coach Billy Napier. The 17-point margin of victory was the most lopsided road win for UF during Napier's tenure (Florida won 41-24 at Texas A&M on November 5, 2022).
