The 2026 Schedule has been released: https://goleathernecks.com/news/2026/1/ ... edule.aspx
OOC games against Northwestern College (NAIA), Illinois State (defending FCS championship runner-up), at Wisconsin, back home against Morehead State, then on the road at North Alabama.
Three OOC home games, six total home games. Bye week is the middle of the season, October 10th. Homecoming is October 24th against UT Martin. Last game of the season is away (at Lindenwood).
I don't like that we're playing an NAIA team, but I'll take what we can get at this point, and otherwise the schedule looks pretty good.
