Previous Season

In their 2021 season, the Dukes posted an overall record of 12–2 and 7–1 in the CAA, earning a share of the conference championship with Villanova. The Dukes received an at-large bid to the FCS Playoffs where they beat Southeastern Louisiana and Montana, before losing to North Dakota State in the semifinals.

On November 6, during the season, it was announced that JMU had accepted a bid to the Sun Belt Conference, meaning the 2021 season was their final competing as an FCS program.[1]
