CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference today announced its football schedule for the 2025 season.
 
This marks the second year of the new conference schedule format. This model allows each team to face all 12 conference opponents home and away at least once during a three-year cycle. Additionally, the format incorporates protected opponents based on geographic location and rivalries and eliminates the MAC East and West Divisions.
 
A historic addition to this year’s slate, the University of Massachusetts will officially compete in its first season as a full-fledged MAC member. The Minutemen enter the conference race with the opportunity to battle for a spot in the MAC Football Championship.
 
The MAC will release an updated schedule later this spring with game times and television for the first three weeks of the regular season and its midweek MACtion schedule. All remaining game times and television details will be announced 12 days prior to the scheduled game. Games will air on ESPN platforms (ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU/ESPN+) and CBS Sports Network.
