James Madison released its full 2022 football schedule on Tuesday as it features 10 FBS games and 11 total games in its first year as a member of the Sun Belt Conference.
The Dukes have three non-conference games and they’ll have a full eight-game Sun Belt schedule, with six games at home inside Bridgeforth Stadium
“Seeing this schedule makes all the work of the last few months worth it, not to mention the years of positioning and strategic growth,” JMU Director of Athletics Jeff Bourne said. “When you see 10 FBS games, including five in our home venue, and the competition of the Sun Belt, particularly in the East Division, you can see visually why we made this move. This is where James Madison belongs. I can’t wait to begin this new stage and see a packed Bridgeforth Stadium this fall!”
“This is a great schedule!” Head Coach Curt Cignetti said. “Our players and fans will be excited as the reality of competing in the Sun Belt Conference is one step closer to reality!”
Kickoff times and networks for the first three weeks of the season will be selected in early June. All other games will fall into the traditional 12-day selection process.
All games can be heard on the JMU Radio Network on WSVA (92.1 FM / 550 AM), online at WSVAOnline.com or on the Varsity Network App.
The 2022 JMU season is presented by CarMax.
