CAA Football Announces 2025 Schedule
Rob Washburn
RICHMOND, Va. (December 18, 2024) – CAA Football has announced its schedule for the 2025 season, which will include 12 games over a 13-week period for the second year in a row.
The conference slate includes four home games and four road contests for each team. Each team is paired with three permanent partners they play annually. The remaining five slots are filled through a rotation of the 10 remaining members, where each team will play every non-partner opponent at least once over a four-year period. Limiting air travel to reduce costs was a priority, with most teams not having more than one flight during conference play.
There is at least one conference game during all 13 weeks of the schedule, starting with Campbell at defending champion Rhode Island on Friday, August 29. Maine visits William & Mary and Stony Brook hosts Rhode Island on Saturday, September 6, and HBCU rivals Hampton and North Carolina A&T meet in Greensboro on Saturday, September 13.
The non-conference schedule features 16 games against FBS opponents, including three Big Ten opponents (Iowa, Maryland, Penn State) and three ACC foes (Duke, NC State, Virginia).
Four CAA Football teams earned FCS playoffs berths in 2024, which marked the third year in a row and 14
th time overall that at least four teams were chosen. The conference has had at least one team advance to the semifinals in 10 of the last 12 years and has had a team reach the national championship game 11 times since 2003.
