MANHATTAN — For Kansas State football fans eager to make plans for the upcoming season, the wait is over.
K-State and the Big 12 announced their 2025 schedules on Tuesday and for the second straight year the Wildcats will only play half of their 12 regular season games at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.
That said, K-State’s slate has a number of notable features, including a nationally featured early start for a rare trip abroad and a home game against a service academy.
As was announced in May, K-State traded a conference home game for a chance to kick off its season on Aug. 23 against Iowa State in Dublin, Ireland in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic. That game marks the first time the Wildcats have opened against a conference since the inaugural Big 12 game against Texas Tech in 1996 and is the second-ever international game and first since playing Nebraska in Tokyo, Japan, in 1992.
The Wildcats have no time to recover from jet lag as they face North Dakota in the home opener the following Saturday. The two schools have never met previously.
On Aug. 30, K-State plays host to Army in the first regular season game against a service academy since they entertained the Black Knights in 1987. Their most recent service academy opponent was Navy in the 2019 Liberty Bowl.
The final nonconference game once again comes against Big 12 member Arizona on Sept. 13 in Tucson. That will cap a home-and-home series between the teams that was scheduled before Arizona joined the conference.
K-State will play four conference home games, starting with Central Florida on Sept. 27, with TCU visiting Oct. 11, Texas Tech on Nov. 1 and Colorado for senior day Nov. 29. The Wildcats last played UCF, TCU and Texas Tech two years ago, while they are facing Colorado for the first time at home since 2009, though they beat the Buffaloes on the road last year, 31-28.
The Wildcats’ conference road games are Oct. 4 at Baylor, Oct. 25 at Kansas for the Sunflower Showdown, Nov. 15 with Oklahoma State and Nov. 22 in Salt Lake City for a first-ever meeting with Utah.
All 12 of K-State’s games will take place on Saturdays. By starting early in Ireland, the Wildcats gained a third open date with byes on Sept. 20 before going to Baylor, Oct. 18 before heading to KU, and Nov. 8 before the road trip to Oklahoma State.
