About Southern Illinois Salukis Football

Southern Illinois Salukis football has been part of the SIU Carbondale tradition since 1913 and competes at the NCAA Division I FCS level in the Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC). The program’s defining achievement is the 1983 NCAA Division I-AA National Championship, capped by a title-game win over Western Carolina. Across Saluki history, notable names include head coach Jerry Kill (2001–2007), along with SIU standouts who went on to NFL careers like Brandon Jacobs and Bart Scott, plus quarterback Joel Sambursky from the mid-2000s playoff era.

On Saturdays in Carbondale, the Salukis play at Saluki Stadium, a modern on-campus stadium that opened in 2010 as part of SIU’s Saluki Way athletics development. With a capacity of approximately 15,000, the setting is close to the action, and the atmosphere is driven by students and longtime supporters—especially in the Dawg Pound section. The stadium features premium seating, a video board, and press/club facilities that help round out the game-day experience.

In the MVFC, matchups can carry serious weight, and several opponents consistently drive demand. Rivalry and high-interest games include Northern Iowa and in-state MVFC opponent Illinois State, along with measuring-stick conference showdowns against North Dakota State and South Dakota State. There’s also regional history with Southeast Missouri State. If there's a specific rivalry game you're targeting, browsing Southern Illinois Salukis Football tickets early is the smartest move.
