The NAIA national championship game between Grand View and Keiser is an intriguing game. It is a matchup of 1) the #1 and #2 teams in NAIA, 2) a rematch of last year's championship game (Grand View won in 2024 by a 35-7 score), and 3) the last two NAIA national champions. Keiser is making its fourth straight championship game appearance and is trying to win its second NAIA national title, while Grand View is appearing in its third national title game in the last five years and is going for its third NAIA championship; they also won in 2013.

As noted above, this game will be streamed on the NAIA Network and the Urban Edge Sports Network. More information about the game can be found on the 2025 NAIA Football National Championship page.

The D2 national championship game between Ferris State and Harding has some remarkable similarities to the NAIA championship game in terms of being a game between arguably the top two current programs in the classification. As many people who follow D2 football know, it is a matchup of 1) the #1 and #2 teams in D2 and 2) the last two national champions. The two teams also played in the national quarterfinals last season, and eventual champion Ferris State routed defending champion Harding by a 41-7 score. The Bulldogs from Michigan are attempting to win their fourth D2 national championship in the last five years, also prevailing in 2021 and 2022, while the Bisons from Arkansas are gunning for their second D2 national title.

As is mentioned in the schedule above, the game will be televised on ESPN2. You can read more about the championship game matchup in this link.
