Michigan State, Western Michigan football add two more meetings in its series

East Lansing —  Michigan State has played its share of games against Western Michigan and on Tuesday it was announced the two state schools would continue that trend well into the future.

The Spartans will host the Broncos on Sept. 2, 2028, and on Aug. 30, 2031, with Western Michigan receiving $1.5 million for each game. The teams also will play on Aug. 30, 2025, at Spartan Stadium, in a game that had been previously announced.

Michigan State holds a 15-2 record against Western Michigan, including 13 straight victories, the last coming in the 2022 season-opener in East Lansing, a game the Spartans won, 35-13. All but one game in the series has been played at Spartan Stadium, the exception being in 2015 when Michigan State traveled to Kalamazoo and defeated Western Michigan, 37-24.
