The Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) has released a revised version of its league football schedules for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

The release of the revised future MVFC schedules comes about three months after the Missouri State Bears revealed their decision to move up to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and join Conference USA in 2025.

The MVFC previously revised its football schedules last December following the departure of the Western Illinois Leathernecks to the Ohio Valley Conference.

Beginning in 2025, the MVFC will consist of 10 members — Illinois State, Indiana State, Murray State, North Dakota, North Dakota State, Northern Iowa, South Dakota, South Dakota State, Southern Illinois, and Youngstown State.

Missouri Valley Football Conference members will continue to play an eight-game conference football schedule with three non-conference opponents each season. However, the 2025 season features an extra playing week due to the calendar, so most teams will schedule an additional non-league game for a total of 12 contests.

Below are the revised MVFC schedules for the 2025 and 2026 seasons, which were provided to FBSchedules.com by the conference. Non-conference contests are not included.
