JMU and UVA last met in 2023, with the Dukes winning 36-35 in Charlottesville. That was the first meeting between the programs in 40 years.

“The game is good for both programs, both of our respective fan bases, and the Commonwealth at large,” AD Matt Roan said in a news release.

Over 50,000 fans attended the 2023 matchup between the in-state programs. It gives JMU another in-state Power 4 game on its schedule, after Virginia Tech canceled the 2026 meeting between the Virginia schools.
