PULLMAN, Wash. (Nov. 1, 2024) — Washington State Athletics announced Friday that it has added a road contest at James Madison University to its 2025 football schedule.
The game at JMU is scheduled for Nov. 22, 2025, at Bridgeforth Stadium in Harrisonburg, Va, marking the first meeting between the two programs. The addition of James Madison finalizes WSU’s 2025 football schedule, which includes six home games and six road contests.
The 2025 schedule features contests against five autonomous five programs, a home-and-home series against Oregon State, first-time meetings against five opponents, opponents representing 10 different conferences and an Apple Cup matchup in Pullman.
“We are thrilled to finalize our full football schedule for next season,” said WSU Director of Athletics Anne McCoy. “The 2025 season includes contests against new opponents playing in Gesa Field, a September Apple Cup matchup in Pullman, as well as challenging road games against SEC and ACC opponents in Mississippi and Virginia. It’s a schedule our fans will be excited for.”
For the second straight season, the Cougars will play three of its first four games at Gesa Field. WSU’s home schedule includes contests against Idaho (Aug. 30), San Diego State (Sept. 6) and the Apple Cup against Washington (Sept. 20). Additional games feature first-time opponents to Gesa Field in Toledo (Oct. 25) and Louisiana Tech (Nov. 15) before ending the regular season against Oregon State (Nov. 29).
WSU’s road schedule includes contests at North Texas (Sept. 13) and Colorado State (Sept. 27) before the first of two bye weeks Oct. 4. The following week, the Cougars begin back-to-back weeks back east, traveling to Ole Miss (Oct. 11) before heading to Virginia seven days later to face Virginia (Oct. 18). Both contests mark the first meeting in each series. Nov. 1 sees WSU head to Oregon State for the first of two November meetings between the two programs in 2025, before concluding the road schedule with a final trip to the east coast for a matchup at James Madison (Nov. 22).
