HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison has announced its 2020-21 football schedule, which features eight regular-season games, including five at home and three on the road this upcoming spring.
Â
JMU's schedule is made up of two non-conference home games and six conference matchups, which consists of one home and one away contest against each of its three Colonial Athletic Association south division opponents – Elon, Richmond and William & Mary.
