BLACKSBURG – With the 2025 schedule announcement quickly approaching, Virginia Tech football is set to learn its week-by-week calendar for the upcoming campaign on Monday, Jan. 27. Ahead of the Hokies’ full schedule reveal, let’s take a look at the schools making their way to southwest Virginia in 2025.

The Hokies will host a diverse group of schools at Lane Stadium in 2025, with programs representing the SEC, ACC, Sun Belt Conference and Southern Conference. As head coach Brent Pry heads into his fourth season at the helm, there will be plenty of familiarity in the matchups and a new conference opponent joining the fray.
