MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin football team has released its 2021 schedule which features four true non-conference matchups and five home games at Hardy Graham Stadium. Additionally, the program's annual Homecoming matchup is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 9 against Murray State.
UT Martin will open the season on Thursday, Sept. 2 at Football Bowl Subdivision and Conference USA member Western Kentucky. The Skyhawks will then host SoCon member Samford for the team's home opener on Saturday, Sept. 11. The team will wrap up its non-conference slate with road matchups at Northwestern State (Sept. 18) and Jacksonville State (Sept. 25).
In 2021, Ohio Valley Conference football-playing members will play six conference games in a round-robin format as part of the official OVC schedule. Furthermore, OVC Directors of Athletics agreed to schedule additional games against OVC opponents outside the structure of the Conference schedule as a way to play competitive games within the region. These designated matchups against OVC opponents will not count in the Conference standings.
"This scheduling effort epitomized the spirit of cooperation and collaboration that exists among the OVC members," said OVC Commissioner Beth DeBauche. "As a by-product of this effort, we believe we will enhance the sense of rivalry in the Conference and provide us with opportunities to showcase our outstanding level of competition."
UT Martin will play host to four league opponents with games against Murray State (Oct. 9), Southeast Missouri (Oct. 23), Austin Peay (Oct. 30) and Tennessee State (Nov. 6). The Skyhawks home matchup with the Redhawks will not count in the league standings.
The Skyhawks will travel to Eastern Illinois (Oct. 16), Tennessee Tech (Nov. 13) and Southeast Missouri (Nov. 20) to complete the team's six-game conference slate.
