OGDEN, Utah-Wednesday, Weber State football announced a home-and-home series with fellow FCS power James Madison for the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

The Wildcats and Dukes will meet at Stewart Stadium in Ogden September 18, 2021. They then open the season against each other September 3 at Bridgeforth Stadium in Harrisonburg, Va.

James Madison, who boasts such alums as former Washington Redskins star receiver Gary Clark, won FCS national titles in 2004 and 2016 and has advanced to the FCS playoffs 15 times in its storied past.

Both of these purple-clad FCS powers have been ranked in the top 5 nationally for the most part this season.

The squads have met once on the gridiron with the Dukes edging the Wildcats 31-28 December 8, 2017 at Harrisonburg in the quarterfinals of the FCS playoffs.

This finalizes the Wildcats’ 2021 schedule. They will commence their slate at Utah, visit Dixie State at St. George and then host James Madison.
