The Alcorn State Braves have announced their 2025 football schedule, which features a game at Mississippi State.
Alcorn State’s schedule this fall begins with three consecutive non-conference road contests, beginning on Saturday, Aug. 30 against the Northwestern State Demons. The Braves then trek to face the Alabama A&M Bulldogs on Sept. 6 and the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Sept. 13.
Although Alcorn State and Alabama A&M are both Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) members, their previously unannounced contest on Sept. 6 will be a non-conference matchup and it will not count in the league standings.
Following an open date, Alcorn State returns to the road to face the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions on Sept. 27, which will be the SWAC opener for the Braves.
Alcorn opens its home schedule at Jack Spinks Stadium in Lorman, Miss., on Oct. 4 against the Prairie View A&M Panthers, a SWAC foe. The Braves remain at home the following week on Oct. 11 when they host the Lincoln (CA) Oaklanders in a non-conference matchup, which was previously unannounced.
The remaining schedule for Alcorn State next fall is all SWAC opponents — at Florida A&M on Oct. 18, vs. Mississippi Valley State on Oct. 25, at Texas Southern on Nov. 1, vs. Southern on Nov. 8, vs. Grambling State on Nov. 15, and at Jackson State on Nov. 22.
