Big Central Conference Schedule – Week 0

The 2025 Big Central Conference Football season gets underway on Thursday evening with fifteen games to kickoff Week 0 action. Thirty-three contests in total are on tap for opening week.

SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ – The 2025 New Jersey High School Football Season is here.  The first Week 0 games are about to kick off in a few hours.  Big Central Gridiron plans to cover only one or two games this week.  Most notably, the BCC Crossover contest on Saturday between Metuchen and Delaware Valley at the Dog Pound in Metuchen.  

There are a ton of games on tap, including many BCC crossover contests and non-conference games against schools from the Shore Conference, Super Football Conference, and West Jersey Football League.  Two key non-conference games that stand out involve Hillsborough and Old Bridge at the annual Battle at the Beach showcase at both Carey Field in Ocean City and Rowan University.
