JONESBORO, Ark. (2/28/25) – The Arkansas State football team has announced its complete 2025 schedule, which kicks off at home on Saturday, Aug. 30, against Southeast Missouri and features five additional games at Centennial Bank Stadium.
The Red Wolves begin their fifth season under head coach Butch Jones with four non-conference games against Southeast Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa State and Kennesaw State ahead of Sun Belt Conference (SBC) play. A-State plays its league opener on the road for the first time since 2022 and plays two midweek conference games, one on the road and one at home, for the first time since 2021.
Arkansas State’s game versus Southeast Missouri will mark the 15th meeting between the two programs and the ninth time over the past 13 seasons the Red Wolves play their season opener at home. A-State and Arkansas meet for the first time on Sept. 6 at Little Rock’s War Memorial Stadium. The Red Wolves host Iowa State at Centennial Bank Stadium on Sept. 13, the first home outing against an autonomy-conference opponent since 2015. A road test at Kennesaw State on Sept. 20 closes out the non-conference portion of the schedule.
The Red Wolves first three Sun Belt Conference contests are divisional opponents, beginning with the league opener at ULM on Sept. 27.
