Jacksonville State's 2026 season
Jacksonville State plays 12 regular-season games in 2026, 6 at home at AmFirst Stadium and 6 away, opening on Aug 29 and finishing on Nov 28. 8 of them are Conference USA games and 4 are not — which is the shape of a college season: a short non-conference run, most of it early, and then two months inside the conference. The longest run at home is 2 games, from Sep 19 to Sep 26; the longest run on the road is 1, from Aug 29 to Aug 29.
The non-conference games are against North Dakota State on Aug 29, Eastern Kentucky on Sep 5, Ohio on Sep 12, Georgia Southern on Sep 19. Those opponents are not in the Conference USA, so they do not appear as rows on the conference grid — a cell naming one carries a dotted underline there to say so. They are part of this team's season all the same, which is why they are on the grid at all rather than left as blank weeks.
Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. A Saturday-evening game in the United States is the small hours of Sunday morning across Europe, and a game that crosses midnight carries a +1 so it cannot be mistaken for the same evening. To see how Jacksonville State's season compares with the rest of the conference — who has the harder stretch, and whose non-conference run is heaviest — the full Conference USA grid puts all 10 teams side by side.
