UCF Knights prepare for Space Game against Baylor on Friday

The UCF Knights are set to become the UCF Citronauts for their annual Space Game against the Baylor Bears on October 30, 2026. The Knights will wear specially themed uniforms for the event, which airs on ESPN starting at 7:30 p.m. The Space Game, a tradition marking its 10th year, pays homage to UCF's origins in support of the U.S. space program. Following a win over BYU, UCF aims to regain a winning streak after losing last year's game against Houston, which broke their eight-game winning run in the event. Head coach Scott Frost noted the uniqueness of the occasion and expressed hopes for strong fan attendance.
