2025 FCS Matchups Versus Non-Division I Opponents

Each year, some FCS members look outside the Division I umbrella to fill out their football schedules and the 2025 season will be no different. FCS teams are slated to play 55 games against non-Division I opponents in 2025 with matchups versus NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA, NCCAA, and a handful against non-affiliated teams. There were 58 matchups scheduled between FCS and non-Division I teams in 2024 but only 57 were played due to the canceled Quincy–Drake game.

46 FCS teams will play against 45 different non-Division I opponents from 20 different conferences outside Division I in 2025. 9 teams – Alabama State, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Delaware State, Morehead State, Morgan State, Presbyterian, Stetson, UTRGV, and Valparaiso – have 2 or more games against non-DI opponents. UTRGV is the only FCS school that currently has more than two for the 2025 season.

The full table of FCS versus non-Division I games is listed below. Additional charts are provided near the bottom of the page that show a breakdown of the subdivision’s games against the other affiliations and each FCS conference’s non-DI opponents.
