None of this is really new information -- Louisville and Auburn (and Chick-fil-A) announced the 2015 season opener before last season and Kentucky and Louisville already had their game set for next year.

But still, the SEC announced its 2015 schedule on Tuesday night and Louisville's games are officially official -- again.

The Cardinals start the 2015 season on Sept. 5 with the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game against Auburn in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. U of L said last August that the game would likely be broadcast on either ESPN or ABC. It'll be just the second meeting between the programs.

The Kentucky matchup, which will be played in the Wildcats' renovated Commonwealth Stadium, is the final game of the season yet again. The teams will play on Nov. 28.

Louisville also has nonconference games against Houston and Samford next year. Houston plays Louisville at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium on Sept. 12, and Samford comes to town the following Saturday.

In the ACC, Louisville has home games against Boston College, Clemson, Syracuse and Virginia. The Cards' road games include Florida State, NC State, Pittsburgh and Wake Forest.

2015 non-conference schedule:

Sept. 5 vs. Auburn in Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game (Georgia Dome)

Sept. 12 vs. Houston (Papa John's Cardinal Stadium)

Sept. 19 vs. Samford (Papa John's)

Nov. 28 at Kentucky (Commonwealth Stadium)
