Loading Home Game Saturdays…
Which Saturdays the stadium fills, and what time. Read from Mississippi State's own calendar, so a kick-off time appears here as soon as it is set — and you can be emailed once when it is.

Town Tools builds free, public tools for Starkville and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.
Home games are the days Starkville has to plan around. This page lists the season as Mississippi State's own calendar publishes it: which Saturdays are at home, which are away, and what time each game starts. Kick-off time is the part that moves — most of a season's times are set during the season rather than when the schedule comes out — so it is read from the calendar each time this page loads instead of being typed in here.

Most of the season’s kick-off times are not set when the schedule comes out. Sign up and we will email you once, for each home game at Davis Wade Stadium, when its time is announced.
Roads through the middle of campus close before kick-off and reopen after the game. Mississippi State publishes the closure map and the hours for each season on its game-day page. The edition on that page today is from a previous season, so read it again in the week before the first home game rather than relying on last year's times.

Campus parking on a home Saturday is paid, and the university publishes which lots are open and what each costs for that season. Those prices are not repeated here: they are set season by season, and a figure we cannot keep true is worse than no figure.

Some Saturdays have a name — Homecoming, a colour-out, Senior Day. Where the calendar gives one, it is in the table above exactly as published. It is the university's own word for the day, and it often tells you what people will be wearing.

Games with no time yet
5 home games are still waiting on a kick-off time.
A game shown without a kick-off time is one the calendar lists as a date and nothing more. That is not a gap on this page — it is what the university's own calendar carries, and the time is set later in the season. If you are planning around one of those Saturdays, plan around the whole day: a midday start and an evening start make for very different afternoons in town. The time appears here as soon as the calendar carries it, and you can be emailed once when it does.

Away games are listed because they are the Saturdays the team is not here: the stadium stays empty and campus roads are not closed for a game. The place named in the table is where that game is played.
