FOREST, Va. – On Tuesday, November 17, the Old Dominion Athletic Conference announced its intention to conduct fall and winter sports in the spring semester. Today, the league office completed this process by releasing the football schedule.

Each of the conference’s nine football-playing members will compete in four conference games over a five-week period. In week six, results from the previous four games will be used to set matchups for a fifth game.

The schedule was created with travel in mind in order to eliminate overnight trips in accordance with COVID-19 best practices.
