The Southern Conference (SoCon) has announced its 2025 football schedule. Conference play begins on Saturday, Sept. 6 with The Citadel at Samford.

For the 2025 season, the SoCon will again consist of nine football-playing members — Chattanooga, ETSU, Furman, Mercer, Samford, The Citadel, VMI, Western Carolina, and Wofford.

With nine teams, each SoCon team plays an eight-game conference schedule and competes against every other team in the conference each season. Like the 2024 season, the 2025 season also includes 13 playing weeks for FCS teams, so each SoCon member will play four non-league games for a total of 12 contests.

The 2025 SoCon football TV schedule will be announced next Spring, but all nine schools’ home games will air on ESPN+ if not selected for a national or regional broadcast.
