The Jacksonville State Gamecocks and San Jose State Spartans have scheduled a home-and-home football series for the 2026 and 2035 seasons, both schools announced<\/a> Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The series will kickoff on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026, when Jacksonville State travels to face San Jose State at CEFCU Stadium in San Jose, Calif. Nine seasons later, the two-game series will conclude when the Gamecocks host the Spartans at AmFirst Stadium in Jacksonville, Ala., on Saturday, Sept. 22, 2035.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville State, a member of Conference USA, and San Jose State, a member of the Mountain West Conference, have never met on the gridiron.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville State\u2019s 2026<\/a> non-conference slate now includes a total of three contests, with one opening remaining. The Gamecocks are set to open the season at home against Eastern Kentucky on Sept. 5 before later hosting Georgia Southern on Sept. 19.<\/p>\n

San Jose State has completed its non-conference schedule for the 2026<\/a> season with the addition of Jacksonville State. Its schedule was previously complete, but a contest against Stanford was rescheduled<\/a> for a future season.<\/p>\n

The Spartans are slated to open the 2026 season on the road against Eastern Michigan on Sept. 5. Other non-conference contests include Cal Poly on Sept. 12 and Fresno State on Sept. 19, both at CEFCU Stadium.<\/p>\n
