Southland Conference 2025 football schedule by Teams: Dates, locations, Matchups, Opponents for All 10 Teams
– The Southland Conference announced the 2025 football schedule on Tuesday afternoon, including the announcement of UIW and Nicholls opening the college football season in Week 0.
The previous two Southland Champions will meet in Thibodaux at John L. Guidry Stadium on August 23, 2025. Kickoff time and network announcement will come later this year.
The Southland will officially move to 10 football-playing members in 2025 as UTRGV begins its first season on the gridiron. They kick off their campaign on August 30 in Edinburg against Sul Ross State.
Each Southland conference team will play an eight-game conference schedule. Teams will also play 12-games schedules in 2025 due to NCAA bylaws and the calendar. The last time this occurred was the 2024 season and it will naturally occur again in 2025.
The season will conclude with rivalry week, including Thursday night match-ups on November 20 of the River Bell Classic between Nicholls and Southeastern and The Chief between SFA and Northwestern State. McNeese and Lamar will pick up the Battle of the Border on Saturday, November 22.
For the 2025 season, the Southland Conference expands to 10 football-playing members with the addition of the University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Vaqueros, which will be playing their first season of football. UTRGV joins returning members East Texas A&M (formerly known as Texas A&M-Commerce), Houston Christian (HCU), Lamar, McNeese, Nicholls, Northwestern State, Southeastern Louisiana, Stephen F. Austin, and Incarnate Word (UIW).
