2025 Football Schedule Released: Kansas State University 2025 football schedule has been announced, outlining their season’s games…
The Kansas State Wildcats have unveiled their 2025 football schedule, featuring a blend of traditional rivalries, international flair, and a balanced mix of home and away games. Under the leadership of head coach Chris Klieman, the Wildcats aim to build upon their recent successes and contend for the Big 12 title.
The season kicks off on August 23 with a historic matchup against Iowa State in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland. This marks Kansas State’s second international game, the first being against Nebraska in Tokyo in 1992. It’s also the first time the Wildcats will open a season against a conference opponent since 1996.
Following their overseas opener, the Wildcats return to Manhattan for a three-game homestand. They host North Dakota on August 30, Army on September 6, and UCF on September 27. The game against Army is particularly notable, as it’s the first time Kansas State will host a service academy in nearly 40 years.
Kansas State’s road schedule includes a trip to Arizona on September 12, a Friday night game that adds a unique twist to their non-conference slate. The Wildcats also travel to face Baylor on October 4, Houston on October 25, and Colorado on November 22. The matchup against Colorado rekindles a former Big 8 and Big 12 rivalry, with the Buffaloes rejoining the conference in 2024.
Additional home games include TCU on October 11, Texas Tech on November 1, and Kansas on November 8. The Sunflower Showdown against Kansas is always a highlight of the season, drawing significant attention from fans across the state. The regular season concludes with a home game against Colorado on November 22, bringing the Wildcats’ schedule full circle with a nod to their storied past.
To enhance the game-day experience, Kansas State has announced themed promotions for each home game. Fans can look forward to events such as Family Day, Fort Riley Day, and Homecoming, each designed to celebrate the community and university spirit.
With a schedule that balances competitive challenges and fan engagement, the 2025 season promises to be an exciting chapter in Kansas State football history. Season tickets and single-game tickets are available through the Kansas State Athletics website.
