NCAA Division I FCS football seasons | |
«2018 2020» |
The 2019 NCAA Division I FCS football season, part of college football in the United States, was organized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level. The FCS Championship Game was played on January 11, 2020, in Frisco, Texas.[1] Defending champion North Dakota State completed the regular season undefeated,[2] then won their eighth championship in nine seasons, defeating James Madison, 28-20, for the title.[3]
The following playing rule changes have been recommended by the NCAA Football Rules Committee for 2019:[4]
All FCS teams were allowed to schedule 12 regular season games in the 2019 season. A standard provision of NCAA bylaws allows for 12 regular season games during years having 14 Saturdays in the period starting with the Labor Day (first Monday in September) weekend and ending with the last Saturday of November. The next time that a 12-game regular season will be allowed is 2024.[5]
