South Alabama will now open the 2025 season on Aug. 30 vs. Morgan State at Hancock Whitney Stadium, according to the school’s online schedule.

The Jaguars had previously been set to host Florida A&M on that date, but that game has been moved to Sept. 16, 2029. A South Alabama football spokesman confirmed the change to AL.com.

South Alabama’s other 2025 non-conference games remain unchanged. The Jaguars will host Tulane on Sept. 6, travel to Auburn on Sept. 13 and play at North Texas on Sept. 27.

The Sun Belt Conference will announce South Alabama’s full 2025 schedule on or around March 1, thought the Jaguars’ opponents have already been announced. In addition to its regularly scheduled West Division games — at Troy, at Louisiana-Monroe, at Texas State, home vs. Arkansas State, home vs. Louisiana, home vs. Southern Miss, South Alabama will also host Coastal Carolina and play at Georgia State this season.

South Alabama finished 7-6 in 2024, its third straight winning season. The Jaguars also beat Western Michigan 30-23 in the Salute to Veterans Bowl, their second consecutive postseason victory.
