After North Dakota State’s departure to the Mountain West, the Missouri Valley Football Conference has announced its revised conference slate for 2026.
The nine-team league will play an eight-game conference schedule for a true round-robin format. Teams will get four home games and four away games within the MVFC slate.
Valley squads can play four non-conference games in the 12-game FCS regular season.
Start times and television details will be announced on a later date.
