HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison football announced Monday it has signed a single-game contract with Weber State and will host the Wildcats on Saturday, Aug. 30, 2025, at Bridgeforth Stadium to open the 2025 season.
This will be the fourth meeting all-time between the Dukes and Wildcats, but the first for JMU while at the Football Bowl Subdivision level.
JMU is 3-0 all-time against Weber State, winning a pair of FCS playoff games at home (2017 quarterfinals and 2019 semifinals) and a road regular-season matchup (2021).
