Chapman Football 2025: Streaming, TV Schedule & Where to Watch

The main highlights of Chapman University’s football team have only recently begun to surface, despite the program having been around for more than a century.

Part of the reason is that the program took a 62-year break following a largely failed run as California Christian from 1923 to 1932, only to return in 1994 with the first of three straight winning seasons.

The following 20 years weren’t as important, but in 2014, the Panthers made their first appearance in the NCAA Division III Playoffs and won their first Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship.

Since then, Chapman has remained a threat, and 2025 should be no different, despite some significant program changes.

In May, Bob Owens, the head coach who ultimately saved the Chapman football team, announced his retirement. By the end of June, he had left the program.

Although it took him a while to settle in, he has revolutionized Chapman football since taking over a poor squad in 2006 that had just gone through six straight losing seasons.

Owens has an overall record of 106-63 over 18 complete seasons, including the 2020 campaign that was canceled because of COVID-19. This includes four SCIAC titles, 13 winning seasons, and four playoff trips.

Owens and the Panthers had their greatest season in 2019—a 10-1 campaign that advanced to the second round of the Division III playoffs and included a 7-0 conference record. After defeating Linfield 68-65 in the first round, the record season concluded with a 34-33 loss to Saint John’s of Minnesota.

Winning the first SCIAC championship game in the conference’s new two-division model, which was implemented in 2023, is one aspect of Owens’ legacy. In addition, he captained the SCIAC Coaching Staff of the Year during their championship seasons in 2014, 2017, 2019, and 2023.

There has been no announcement of a new Chapman head coach as of July 1. Who will have the good fortune to inherit the talented program?

The Panthers won the Surf Division of the SCIAC in 2024 with a 7-3 overall record and a 6-2 record in SCIAC games. In the championship match, they were defeated 37-34 by Pomona-Pitzer.
