The Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) has released its league football schedules for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
Missouri Valley Football Conference members will play an eight-game conference football schedule with three non-conference opponents during both seasons. 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.
Following the departure of Western Illinois to the Ohio Valley Conference next season, the MVFC had to revise its future schedules. The 2024 conference schedule was revised and released in August.
Beginning in 2024, the MVFC will consist of 11 members — Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Murray State, North Dakota, North Dakota State, Northern Iowa, South Dakota, South Dakota State, Southern Illinois, and Youngstown State.
Below are the MVFC schedules for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. Non-conference contests are not included.
