MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia's 2025 football schedule has been finalized with the release of its conference slate. The Mountaineers, as known previously, will face Arizona State, BYU, Houston and Kansas and UCF on the road while hosting Colorado, TCU, Texas Tech and Utah in Big 12 play.
The Mountaineers open the season with a home game against Robert Morris, travel to Ohio University, then host Pitt in their three non-conference games on the first three weekends of the season. WVU will not see Arizona, Baylor, Cincinnati, Iowa State, Kansas State or Oklahoma State in 2025, and gets Arizona State, BYU, Colorado, Houston and TCU on this year's slate after not playing any of those schools in 2024.

The TCU game on Sat Oct. 25 is set for Homecoming, while Mountaineer Week festivities will run up through the Colorado game on Nov. 8
“Now that the football schedule has been completed, o.ur fans can finalize their travel plans and make final preparations for Mountaineer football this fall,” Vice President and Director of Athletics Wren Baker said. “When you play in the Big 12, the schedule is always going to provide great competition, and the excitement and anticipation for the season and Coach Rod’s return to the West Virginia sidelines are already in high gear.”
“This year’s schedule showcases an exciting slate of games for our program and fans,” WVU football coach Rich Rodriguez said. “The Big 12 is as tough as anywhere in the country. Our players and coaches know we have a lot of work to do in our winter conditioning, spring practices and summer camp to prepare for this year’s season.”
Even though the Mountaineers have faced Utah and Colorado in past years, WVU will play host to the Utes (Sept. 27) and the Buffaloes (Nov. 8) for the first time as Big 12 opponents. This will mark the third meeting with Utah, the first at Milan Puskar Stadium and the first time the two have played since 2017’s Heart of Dallas Bowl. The Mountaineers split a home-and-home series with Colorado in 2008 and 2009, with the home team winning in their only previous meetings.
After being absent from the schedule last year, TCU makes a return for Homecoming on Oct. 25, while Mountaineer Week will be celebrated against Colorado.
WVU travels to Ohio on Sept. 6. The Mountaineers and Bobcats meet for the first time since 2001. After facing Kansas at home in 2022 and 2024, the Mountaineers will travel to Kansas on Sept. 20, playing in Lawrence for the first time since 2021.
BYU (Friday, Oct. 3) and Houston (Nov. 1) return to the schedule, both on the road. The Mountaineers will play in Provo, Utah, for the first time. A road date against UCF on Oct. 18 and TCU separate the BYU and Houston games, as the Mountaineers will face the Knights for the third straight year.
WVU will travel to Tempe, Arizona, on Nov. 15, to play Arizona State, last year’s Big 12 Champion, for the first time since facing the Sun Devils in the 2015 Cactus Bowl at Chase Field in Phoenix. After their second open week, the Mountaineers will close the regular season at home for the first time since 2018, playing Texas Tech on Nov. 29.
Big 12 television partners ESPN, FOX and TNT Sports will make their selections for the first three weeks of the season, which will be the first set of kickoff times released. Select Saturday games in the 2025 season may be moved to select Fridays, other special dates, and Black Friday and will be announced in the coming weeks.
