Liberty vs. James Madison Game Moved to 3:30 p.m. on ESPNU

Liberty's in-state game against James Madison on Saturday, September 20 will now kick off at 3:30 p.m. and will be nationally televised on ESPNU.

The change for the Battle of the Blue Ridge contest was announced earlier today by ESPN and Conference USA.

The contest gives Liberty at least six nationally televised games in 2025 with four games still to be announced later this season.

Although the two teams have met 18 times on the gridiron in football previously, they have not squared off against each other in more than a decade. This will also be the first time the two teams have met since both making the move up to the FBS level.

James Madison holds the overall series lead, 12-6; however, the Flames won the last meeting in one of the most significant games in Flames program history.

After claiming the Big South Championship title the week before with a thrilling win over No. 1 ranked Coastal Carolina, Liberty defeated No. 15 James Madison, 26-21, in the first round of the FCS Playoffs in Harrisonburg on November 29, 2014.

The last time the two teams squared off against each other at Williams Stadium was in 2011 when James Madison picked up a 27-24 victory on September 17.
