UNLV, James Madison Agree Home-And-Home Football Series 2027, 2030

UNLV and James Madison University (JMU) have agreed to a home-and-home football series with games scheduled for 2027 and 2030. The first game will take place at JMU's Bridgeforth Stadium in Harrisonburg, Virginia, on September 25, 2027, marking UNLV's first game in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The return game will be held at UNLV's Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on August 31, 2030, which will be the furthest west JMU has ever traveled for a game. Both teams have never faced each other before, and the series is expected to generate excitement given the recent strong performances by both programs. JMU competes in the Sun Belt Conference, while UNLV is part of the Mountain West Conference, and this matchup highlights cross-conference competition during the non-conference schedule. The agreement forms part of JMU's completed non-conference schedule through 2029, along with other future games against teams like Ohio and FCS programs.
