Maryland football released an updated 2022 schedule, the program announced Wednesday. The Terps’ opponents and locations remain the same, however, the dates for five of the games were altered.

Maryland will start the season and the nonconference portion of its schedule on Sept. 3 at home against Buffalo. The Terps will then travel to Charlotte on Sept. 10 before returning home to host SMU a week later on Sept. 17.

The first of Maryland’s eight Big Ten games will take place in Ann Arbor, Michigan, when it goes on the road to take on defending conference champion Michigan on Sept. 24.

The Terps return back to College Park for matchups against Michigan State on Oct. 1 and Purdue on Oct. 8. They then play at Indiana on Oct. 15 and home against Northwestern on Oct. 22 before the team’s bye week.

The final four games of the season are at Wisconsin (Nov. 5), at Penn State (Nov. 12) and two games at home to cap off the season against Ohio State (Nov. 19) and Rutgers (Nov. 26).

This is the second straight season that the Terps will play seven of their 12 games at home, including five conference games, the most since 2018. The Terps are riding a strong wave of momentum into this offseason after their dominant 54-10 win over Virginia Tech in the Pinstripe Bowl to finish the season at 7-6.
