COLLEGE FOOTBALLWSU adds Ole Miss to 2025 schedule

Washington State added University of Mississippi, commonly known as Ole Miss, to its 2025 schedule. WSU will visit Oxford, Miss. on Oct. 11, 2025 in its first SEC game since 2013 versus Auburn.

Ole Miss is the seventh opponent on WSU’s ‘25 schedule and third road game.

With more schools slated to join the Pac-12 in 2026, the ‘25 season will see the final year of just WSU and Oregon State in the Pac-12 and be composed almost entirely of independently scheduled games. WSU is scheduled to host Idaho, San Diego State, Oregon State and Washington and will visit North Texas, Virginia and Ole Miss. WSU filled in its 2024 schedule with a six-team slate from the Mountain West Conference. With the Pac-12 adding five MW schools, WSU will likely have to search elsewhere to build its schedule.

“Since the Mountain West partnership fell apart, you got to scramble far and wide to go find a game,” WSU coach Jake Dickert said. “And hopefully a lot more announcements are coming here very shortly about our schedule.”
