Kansas announces opponents for the 2025 season

Larkdight Studios Kansas Jayhawks' Program Rebuild (Season 1) August 1, 2025 3:00PM CST

The Kansas Jayhawks will kick off Season 1 of the rebuild against the Fresno State Bulldogs, on August 4th. It’s going to be crazy seeing HC Bill Self leading the football team in the home opener, but we’re just going to have to go with it and see what happens. We’ll learn a lot about his impact in Week 2, when the Jayhawks go on the road to face the Oklahoma Sooners.

The Big 12 may be the most wide-open conference in all of college football because it could be Kansas, Iowa State, Colorado, West Virginia, Kansas State, Arizona, Arizona State, or really anyone that can win this conference. You just hope for the conference’s sake that they don’t all bring each other down but instead the competition makes everyone better, so that can come playoffs time the conference is represented well.

Dates and times for all games are below:

• Week 1 – Mon, Aug 4 3:00PM CST – vs Fresno State (Season/Home Opener)

The Kansas Jayhawks were expected to have a good season, but after the hiring of Bill Self there isn’t a lot of belief in this team and they’re expected to go 3-9 this season, which would be a really bad place to start the rebuild. But maybe this move shocks the world and we start seeing other coaches around the country start taking on dual roles inside of their respective colleges, such as John Calipari at Arkansas or Kelvin Sampson at Houston.
