The VMI Keydets have announced their 2025 football schedule, which features five home games and 12 contests overall.
“We’re really excited to announce our schedule for our upcoming 2025 season,” said VMI Head Football Coach Danny Rocco. “Like last year, this is a 12-game schedule but this year we have five home games and seven road trips so we are going to have to do a good job with that road-warrior mentality.”
VMI opens the 2025 season on Saturday, Aug. 30 on the road against the Navy Midshipmen at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md. The following week on Sept. 6, VMI opens its home slate at Alumni Memorial Field in Lexington, Va., when it hosts the Ferrum College Panthers of Division II.
The Keydets will then close out the non-conference portion of their schedule with back-to-back games on the road against the Bucknell Bison on Sept. 13 and the Richmond Spiders on Sept. 20. All four of VMI’s non-conference games in 2025 were previously reported.
VMI will kickoff Southern Conference (SoCon) action in 2025 at home against Chattanooga on Oct. 4. Other home conference opponents include Samford on Oct. 18, Wofford on Nov. 8, and Western Carolina on Nov. 22.
