Per the report, Sam Houston State will host the first game on Saturday, September 11, 2021 while Southeast Missouri State will host the second game on Saturday, September 13, 2025.

Sam Houston State went 7-5 overall and 6-3 in Southland Conference in 2019. They were not selected as an at-large team for the FCS Playoffs.
