Cincinnati soccer fans know TQL Stadium as the sparkling home of FC Cincinnati — but this fall, the downtown venue will host something it has never seen before: a college football game.
The University of Cincinnati Bearcats and the Miami University RedHawks are set to face off at TQL Stadium in what will be the first-ever football game played at the facility, according to Cincy on the Prowl. The matchup between two storied Ohio programs promises to be a landmark moment for the stadium and a treat for fans across the region.
TQL Stadium, which opened in 2021, has quickly become one of the most celebrated soccer-specific venues in Major League Soccer. Adding a college football showdown to its résumé marks an exciting new chapter for the facility and for Cincinnati sports culture as a whole.
The UC–Miami (OH) rivalry is one of the oldest in Ohio college football, making the choice of this historic matchup a fitting way to christen TQL Stadium’s football debut. Fans of both programs will have the rare opportunity to watch their teams compete in one of the city’s newest and most visually stunning venues.
It’s shaping up to be a must-see event for Cincinnati sports lovers — whether you bleed red and black or red and white.
