LSU football makes major change to future schedule

LSU football made a change to its future schedule. The Tigers cancelled a home-and-home series with Arizona State that was originally slated for 2029 and 2030. The move came shortly after LSU added Tulane to its 2030 schedule.

>FBSchedules.com reported that the cancellation was a mutual decision and neither school would pay a fee.

>Several SEC schools have been working to reshuffle future schedules after the SEC announced a move to a nine-game conference schedule. A nine-game SEC schedule will be a grind, and playing a tenth Power Four isn't the best way to maximize College Football Playoff chances. Still, SEC schools are required to play at least one game vs. a nonconference Power Four opponent, but it's unclear if the SEC will still have that rule in place in 2030.

We have officially confirmed the cancellation of the LSU-Arizona State football series in 2029 and 2030.

Per a copy of the cancellation agreement obtained from LSU on its letterhead, the schools mutually agreed to cancel the series and neither team will pay a fee.

— FBSchedules.com (@FBSchedules) July 20, 2026Right now, Tulane is the only team LSU is scheduled to play in 2030. If that rule stays in place, LSU will have to find a Power Four replacement for Arizona State or count on Tulane moving up to the ACC or Big 12.

>When LSU head coach Lane Kiffin was at Ole Miss, Kiffin wasn't known for scheduling tough nonconference games. Kiffin also warned against the SEC moving to a nine-game conference schedule without expanding the playoff.
