CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The No. 19/21 Harvard football game vs. Cornell on Friday night is moving from ESPNU to ESPN2. The contest is scheduled to kickoff at 7 p.m. ET inside Harvard Stadium and will mark the Crimson's first ESPN2 appearance since it defeated Yale at Fenway Park in 2018.
 
The Crimson, one of three undefeated teams in the FCS and the only unbeaten Division I program in New England, will play host to the Big Red after winning its first three games of 2023, including last week's 38-28 road win at No. 5/6 Holy Cross. Harvard is also 1-0 in Ivy action after defeating Brown, 34-31, on Sept. 22.
 
The Big Red, meanwhile, enters the contest with a 2-1 mark (1-0 Ivy), following a home defeat to Colgate last Saturday. Cornell, however, opened its campaign with a pair of road victories, taking down Lehigh, 23-20, and Ivy-foe Yale, 23-21.
 
Harvard comes into the game with a 50-34-2 all-time series lead vs. Cornell and has taken the last two meetings overall. The Crimson, which is 2-0 at home in 2023, has been good against the Big Red at Harvard Stadium, claiming the last 10 match-ups.
 
Friday's contest marks the beginning of a two-game homestand, with Howard paying a visit next Saturday, Oct. 14. Tickets for both games are available at GoCrimson.com.
