After closing out its 2025 regular season with a win over Augustana University on Saturday, the Washington University football team was invited to play in the 5th Annual Culver’s Isthmus Bowl — one of only three postseason bowl games for NCAA Division III football teams.

WashU will play the University of Wisconsin-Stout, this Saturday, November 22, at the Bank of Sun Prairie Stadium in Sun Prairie, Wis. Kickoff is slated for 2 p.m., and the game will be streamed live on NCAA.com.

The Bears, who went 8-2 in the regular season, just missed earning an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament, while Wisconsin-Stout went 5-5 this fall, with all five losses coming to teams ranked in the NCAA D3 Top 25.

This will be the first ever meeting between WashU and Wisconsin-Stout. This is the second straight year the Blue Devils will play in the Isthmus Bowl. This will be WashU’s third time playing in the prestigious bowl game.
