CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard football and New Hampshire have agreed to play a home-and-home series beginning in 2024 at Harvard Stadium, with the Crimson returning the game in 2026. The meeting in '24 will mark the first matchup between the schools since 1939.
 
The two-game agreement will begin with the Wildcats traveling south to Cambridge for a game set for Oct. 5, 2024. Two seasons later, the Crimson will make its first-ever appearance at Wildcat Stadium for a clash on Sept. 19, 2026.
 
Harvard and UNH played regularly in the 1920s and '30s, facing each other seven times from 1929-39. The Crimson won each of those games by a combined score of 282-3, including a 46-0 victory in the last meeting on Nov. 18, 1939.
 
Fast forward to 2022, Harvard is in the midst of its fall camp after being picked to win the Ivy League following a '21 campaign that saw the Crimson post an 8-2 record (5-2 Ivy). Harvard recently placed a conference-best 12 players on the Phil Steele Preseason All-Ivy League Team, including junior running back Aidan Borguet, who was named the Preseason Offensive Player of the Year, and junior defense back Alex Washington, who garnered Preseason FCS All-America Second-Team accolades.
 
The Crimson opens the 2022 season on Friday, Sept. 16, when it welcomes Merrimack College to Harvard Stadium for a 7 p.m. ET contest. Season and single-game tickets are available at Tickets.GoCrimson.com.
