Liberty announces 2025 Football Schedule

A pair of matchups against in-state foes in September and the return of midweek Conference USA football in October highlight the Flames’ 2025 football schedule.

Conference USA unveiled its full 2025 football schedule on Thursday. The schedule creates a path for each team to win its way into the CUSA Football Championship, set for Dec. 5. The championship game will once again be broadcast on CBS Sports Network.

Liberty’s Conference USA schedule is spotlighted by an early road trip to defending conference champion Jacksonville State.

The Flames kick off their drive to the title game when they open league play on the road at Jacksonville State on Sept. 6 in Jacksonville, Ala.

The month of September features a pair of key in-state battles for the Flames and a repeat matchup against a MAC opponent.

Liberty hosts James Madison at Williams Stadium on Sept. 20, followed by a road game at Old Dominion on Sept. 27.

Additionally, Liberty closes out a home-and-home series started in 2023 when they travel to Bowling Green, Ky., to face Bowling Green on Sept. 20.

Following a highly successful campaign of midweek games in 2023 and 2024 that gained the league national exposure, CUSA will continues to play all its conference games in October during the midweek.

Liberty has a pair of midweek games during the 10th month of the year. The Flames travel to El Paso, Texas, on Oct. 8 to face UTEP. Six days later, Liberty hosts New Mexico State in Lynchburg on Oct. 14.

The month of November opens with a pair of home games against Conference USA newcomers – Delaware (Saturday, Nov. 1) and Missouri State (Nov. 8).

The November 1 matchup against Delaware caps off a weekend of celebration on the Mountain as Liberty University welcomes back its alumni during Homecoming Weekend.

Following road games at FIU (Nov. 15) and Louisiana Tech (Nov. 22), the Flames host Kennesaw State for a Thanksgiving Weekend battle on Nov. 29 with potential championship game implications on the line.

Liberty will be looking to return to the CUSA Football Championship for the second time in three years. During its inaugural season in the league, the Flames defeated New Mexico State, 49-35, at Williams Stadium on Dec. 1 to claim its first FBS conference title and push its record to a school best 13-0.

The Flames begin their 2025 season when they host Maine at Williams Stadium on Aug. 30.
