BATESVILLE, Arkansas - It is a new era for football at Lyon College.
For the first time, the Scots football team will be playing home games on campus and the new Bad Boy Stadium. Their first home game is scheduled for September 13 against the Arkansas Baptist University Buffaloes from Little Rock. 

Other home dates include Saturday, September 27 against Westminster College (Missouri); Saturday, October 18 against Centenary College (Louisiana); and Saturday, November 8 against Texas Lutheran University. 

"The 2025 season will go down in the short history of Lyon Football," Said Scots head football coach Chris Douglas. "A turning point where Lyon Football finally gets a home on-campus that really brings football to Lyon College and its student body, staff and faculty."

The Scots are entering their second season in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC). This year's conference opponents will be McMurry University, Centenary College, Hendrix College, Austin College and Texas Lutheran University. The 2025 season will conclude at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock the week of November 15 for SCAC Championship Week.

"We feel like we've pulled together an intriguing non-conference, picking up a strong American Southwest Conference team, an area NAIA school and two of the southern programs in the region from the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference, from which I most recently competed," Douglas said. "Then we'll get into our SCAC conference opponents. We're looking forward to competing in every game this season."
