The North Carolina Central Eagles have announced their 2025 football schedule, which includes five home games and 12 games overall.

North Carolina Central opens the season with seven consecutive non-conference games, beginning in Week Zero on Saturday, Aug. 23 against the Southern Jaguars in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge at Center Parc Stadium in Atlanta, Ga.

The following week on Saturday, Aug. 30, the Eagles open their home schedule at O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium in Durham, N.C., against the New Hampshire Wildcats. That’s followed by a trip to take on the Old Dominion Monarchs on Sept. 6 before hosting the Fayetteville State Broncos in Durham on Sept. 13, which was previously unannounced.

The Eagles then play three consecutive road contests, including back-to-back trips against the North Carolina A&T Aggies on Sept. 20 and the East Texas A&M Lions on Sept. 27. After an open date, the Eagles travel to face the Florida A&M Rattlers on Oct. 11.

Following its second open date, North Carolina Central kicks off Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) action on Oct. 25 at home against Delaware State, which will also serve as NC Central’s Homecoming.
