UMass Football News--March 6th, 2025

 

The 2025 UMass football schedule is out.

Saturday, September 13           at Iowa

UMass will have four nationally televised "MACtion" games in November. That should be a boost to the program in name recognition and recruiting---providing we're not 1-8 going into November.

The Minutemen don't play Toledo, Eastern Michigan, Miami (Ohio) and Ball State. The Toledo Rockets are usually in contention for the the league championship. Toledo lost the MAC Player-of-the-Year and MAC Offensive-player-of-the-Year to NIL, but still beat Pitt in their bowl game. We do get Akron and Kent State, two the MAC's weakest programs, but have to play both on the road.

Hustle Belt has a post on the schedule plus the non-league games of all the teams. 

The Hampshire Gazette also has a post on the schedule release. 

The MAC website has a press release on the 2025 schedule.
