2025 Football Schedule Released: Kansas Jayhawks 2025 football schedule has been announced, outlining their season’s games…
The Kansas Jayhawks have officially released their 2025 football schedule, marking a significant return to their home turf at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium following a year-long renovation. Under the guidance of head coach Lance Leipold, now in his fifth season, the Jayhawks are poised to build upon their recent progress and aim for a strong performance in the upcoming season.
The season kicks off on August 23 with a home game against Fresno State, marking the earliest season opener in program history. This game is followed by another home matchup against Wagner on August 29. These early non-conference games provide an opportunity for the Jayhawks to establish momentum before entering the rigorous Big 12 schedule.
A highlight of the non-conference slate is the renewal of the historic Border War rivalry with Missouri on September 6 in Columbia. This game reignites a storied rivalry that dates back to 1891, adding significant anticipation and excitement for both fan bases.
Big 12 Conference play begins with a home game against West Virginia on September 20, followed by another home contest against Cincinnati on September 27. The Jayhawks then embark on a two-game road trip, facing UCF on October 4 and Texas Tech on October 11. These games will be crucial in setting the tone for Kansas’s conference campaign.
The Jayhawks return home to host in-state rival Kansas State on October 25, a matchup that always carries significant implications and fan interest. Homecoming festivities are set for November 1 when Kansas hosts Oklahoma State. Subsequent road games include trips to Arizona on November 8 and Iowa State on November 22. The regular season concludes with a home game against Utah on November 28 or 29, marking the first meeting between the two programs as Big 12 opponents.
The 2025 season also marks the debut of the newly renovated David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, which underwent significant upgrades, including improved seating, enhanced facilities, and modernized amenities. This renovation aims to provide an improved game-day experience for fans and players alike.
With a balanced mix of non-conference and Big 12 games, the Jayhawks’ 2025 schedule presents both challenges and opportunities. As the team returns to its revitalized home stadium, expectations are high for a season that builds upon recent successes and sets the stage for continued growth under Coach Leipold’s leadership.
