The Central Arkansas Bears have announced their 2025 football schedule, which features five home games and 12 contests overall.

Central Arkansas opens the 2025 season on Saturday, Aug. 30 on the road against the Missouri Tigers. The following week on Sept. 6, the Bears open their home slate at Estes Stadium in Conway, Ark., against the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions.

The final two non-conference games for Central Arkansas next season are both on the road later in the season — at Sacramento State on Sept. 20 and at Lamar on Sept. 27. The game against Sacramento State is a new addition and replaces a previously scheduled game at Idaho State on the same date.

United Athletic Conference (UAC) action for Central Arkansas begins at home on Sept. 13 against Tarleton State. Other conference opponents slated to visit Conway next season include Utah Tech on Oct. 4, Eastern Kentucky on Nov. 1, and Abilene Christian on Nov. 22.

Road UAC opponents for UCA in 2025 include North Alabama on Oct. 11, West Georgia on Oct. 25, Austin Peay on Nov. 8, and Southern Utah on Nov. 15.
