Big Sky Releases Football Schedules for 2025 Through 2027

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- The Big Sky Conference, which in July released its football schedules for the 2022 through 2024 seasons after Southern Utah announced its move to the Western Athletic Conference, on Thursday released conference schedules from 2025 through 2027.
The future schedules will still feature eight league games that include two annual opponents, some of whom have changed since the last time, and six rotating opponents. This format was selected in part based on feedback from the league membership about wanting to make sure teams did not go a long time during the three-year slate without playing a fellow conference opponent.
Cal Poly will continue to play in-state rivals UC Davis and Sacramento State each season.
The parameters for scheduling also includes playing every other Big Sky school at least twice -- once at home and once on the road -- during a three-year period (2022-24 and 2025-27). In addition, the UC Davis vs. Sacramento State, Montana vs. Montana State and Idaho vs. Idaho State games will be played in the last week of the season.
Also, teams will play an opponent coming off a bye week no more than three times in a season, play no more than two consecutive conference games on the road, one of the last two conference games scheduled each season will be at home and one of the first two conference games scheduled each season will be at home as well.
Cal Poly released its full 2022 schedule in mid-December. The Mustangs will host San Diego while playing at Fresno State and South Dakota in non-conference games and, in Big Sky games, Cal Poly will host Sacramento State, Eastern Washington, Montana State and Portland State while visiting Northern Arizona, Idaho State, UC Davis and Montana.
