Both teams open their 2026 FCS seasons in this non-conference matchup at E.J. Whitmire Stadium, where Western Carolina hosts Eastern Kentucky. The Catamounts return after a 2025 campaign that featured strong offensive output, while the Colonels bring experience from United Athletic Conference play and a defense that ranked among the better units in several statistical categories last year. Eastern Kentucky leads the all-time series 5-3, though Western Carolina captured the most recent meeting in 2023 by a 27-24 margin. Home-field advantage, roster turnover typical of the offseason, and early-season form will shape the outcome, with both programs facing demanding non-conference slates immediately afterward.
