The reigning national champions of college football will play Western Kentucky in the future.
WKU has added LSU to its nonconference schedule for the 2025 season. FBSschedules.com first reported the agreement after an open records request to Louisiana State University.
The Daily News confirmed that WKU will receive $1.8 million guaranteed for the matchup scheduled for Nov. 22, 2025, in Baton Rouge, La.
The move fills out WKU’s nonconference schedule that season, which begins with a trip to Liberty University on Sept. 6 and Cincinnati visiting Houchens-Smith Stadium on Sept. 20.
LSU won the College Football Playoff national championship with a 15-0 record last season.
