The Ohio Bobcats football team has announced its highly anticipated 2025 regular season schedule, offering fans a thrilling mix of home and away games. The team will play six matches at their home field, Frank Solich Field at Peden Stadium, including four Saturdays. Among the highlights are matchups against notable opponents such as West Virginia and Miami (Ohio).
Opening the season on August 30, the Bobcats will travel to SHI Stadium to face Rutgers. This marks the fourth meeting between these two teams since 1937. Following this, the Bobcats welcome West Virginia to Athens on September 6, in a game that carries historical significance as the Mountaineers have not visited since 1949. Later in the month, Ohio takes on Ohio State at Ohio Stadium, continuing a longstanding rivalry that dates back to 1899.
The Bobcats’ journey through the season promises both challenges and opportunities for growth. Key matchups include facing Ball State, Northern Illinois, and Eastern Michigan, all of which offer significant conference implications. Notably, the November 4th game against Miami (Ohio) holds special meaning, as it commemorates the Battle of the Bricks and celebrates the historic MAC Championship victory in 2024. The season concludes with a visit to Buffalo on November 28, where the Bobcats aim to defend their impressive record from the previous year.
Beyond the excitement of each game, the 2025 schedule underscores the resilience and determination of the Ohio Bobcats. Each matchup represents an opportunity for the team to showcase their skills and build on their successes. As they prepare for another competitive season, the Bobcats embody the spirit of perseverance and excellence, inspiring fans and players alike to strive for greatness.
