HELENA, Mont. – The Frontier Conference released its 2025 football schedule today. Beginning in Fall 2025, the 14 football playing schools will be divided into East and West Divisions, each established with seven teams.
The Frontier Conference – East Division will be as follows in alphabetical order by institution: Dakota State University (Madison, S. Dakota), Dickinson State University (Dickinson, N. Dakota), Mayville State University (Mayville, N. Dakota), Montana State University – Northern (Havre), Montana Technological University (Butte, Mont.), Rocky Mountain College (Billings, Mont.) and Valley City State University (Valley City, N. Dakota).
The Frontier Conference – West Division will be as follows in alphabetical order by institution: Arizona Christian University (Glendale, Ariz.), Carroll College (Helena, Mont.), College of Idaho (Caldwell, Idaho), Eastern Oregon University (La Grande, Ore.), Simpson University (Redding, Calif.), Southern Oregon University (Ashland, Ore.), and University of Montana Western (Dillon, Mont.).
The assignment of divisions is consistent with the NAIA’s approach to allocating automatic berths to its Football Championship Series for postseason qualification. Both the East and West divisions of the Frontier Conference will be granted one automatic qualifying berth beginning in Fall 2025 along with the opportunity to claim one or more at-large berths. The best six-game record within each division will claim the corresponding automatic qualifying berth.
