MISSOULA — The Montana Grizzlies are hosting D-II Central Washington at Washington-Grizzly Stadium to open their 2025 season.

The Griz come into the contest having won 29 straight home games against non-Big Sky teams, 21 consecutive home openers, 19 straight regular season nonconference home games and 10 season openers in a row, the last of which is currently the longest such streak in the FCS.
