11/1/2024 4:30:00 PM | Football
HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison football announced Friday it has signed a single-game contract with Washington State and will host the Cougars at Bridgeforth Stadium next season.
Â
The Dukes host WSU on Nov. 22, 2025, as the Pac-12 Conference member will be the highest-profile program ever to play JMU at Bridgeforth Stadium.
Â
"As we strategically target attractive and impactful opponents for James Madison football and our loyal fans, Washington State presents a unique opportunity to test ourselves at home against a Pac-12 opponent in front of the greatest fans in college football," Roan said. "This will no doubt be a game to remember in the rise of our program, and I can't wait for next November in Bridgeforth Stadium!"
Â
With the addition of Washington State to the 2025 home slate, JMU's originally-scheduled matchup against Utah State on Sept. 13, 2025, has been cancelled.
Â
This will mark the first meeting for JMU against Washington State, as well as a current or former Pac-12 member.
Â
In addition to Washington State, JMU will also host Tennessee Tech (Aug. 30) in the season opener while traveling to Louisville (Sept. 6) and Liberty (Sept. 20) to round out the 2025 non-conference slate.
