ST. LOUIS, Mo. – The Pioneer Football League (PFL) officially announced the 2025 conference schedule on Thursday, featuring 44 games across the league's 11 teams.

The 2025 season marks the 33rd year of the Pioneer Football League, the nation's only non-scholarship, football-only NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) conference. Each team will compete in an eight-game schedule to determine the league champion, who will receive the PFL's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Football Championship.

The 2025 Division I FCS season begins the week of August 30. The PFL schedule kicks off in Week 5, with four games set for Saturday, September 27.

This season, the Hatters will not face Butler or defending PFL champions Drake.
