The Ohio State football team is scheduled to host Army in 2017 and Florida Atlantic in 2019, the school announced Tuesday.

The game against the Black Knights is set for Sept. 16, 2017, while the matchup against the Owls is slated for Aug. 31, 2019. Both are one-game agreements.

The Buckeyes also announced they had reached a mutual agreement with the University of Oklahoma to push their 2017 game up one week, from Sept. 16, 2017, to Sept. 9, 2017. That game is set to be played in Columbus, completing a home-and-home series with the Sooners that begins Sept. 17, 2016 in Norman, Okla.

Ohio State now just needs to fill one additional game slot for the 2018 season to have schedules complete through 2019.

News of the Army matchup was first reported by ESPN's Brett McMurphy.

In 2014, Army finished the year 4-8 while Florida Atlantic went 3-9.

  • VIRGINIA TECH: Sept. 7, 2015 (Blacksburg, Va.)
  • OKLAHOMA: Sept. 17, 2016 (Norman, Okla.) and Sept. 9, 2017 (Columbus)
