Dublin will host the start of the American football college season for four years in succession after the 2025 fixture was confirmed this morning.

Kansas State University and Iowa State University will open the 2025 season on ‘week zero’ in the Aviva Stadium on Saturday August 23, with organisers hoping to make the game “a permanent fixture” in the Irish sporting calendar.
