CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard Football revealed today its schedule for the 2024 campaign. The 10-game slate features six home games for the second straight year and begins on Sept. 21 inside Harvard Stadium.
 
Andrew Aurich, The Thomas Stephenson Family Head Coach for Harvard Football, embarks on his first season on Saturday, Sept. 21, when he and the Crimson play host to Stetson at noon ET. The meeting, which will double as the program's Youth Game, will be the first in series history.
 
Harvard will begin its Ivy League title defense the following week on the road when it visits Brown on Saturday, Sept. 28. The Crimson will carry a 12-game series winning streak into the contest, which also includes five consecutive victories in Providence, Rhode Island.
 
One of the nation's oldest series will renew for the first time since 1939, when New Hampshire arrives in Cambridge on Friday, Oct. 4. The Crimson is 7-0 all-time vs. the Wildcats and was a 46-0 victor the last time the teams met on Nov. 18, 1939. The annual Friday Night Crimson game is scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. ET.
 
The Crimson will hit the road for a second time in 2024 when it makes the long trek to Ithaca, New York to face Cornell on Saturday, Oct. 12. Harvard has defeated the Big Red four straight times and is 6-2 at Schoellkopf Field since 2007.
 
Harvard begins a two-game homestand on Saturday, Oct. 19, by playing host to Holy Cross. The Community Game is scheduled for a noon ET start and will be a rematch of last season's clash that took place at Polar Park in Worcester. In that game, the Crimson jumped out to a 21-7 lead and never looked back en route to a 38-28 decision over the No. 5/6 Crusaders. Harvard is 4-1 in its last five meetings with Holy Cross.
 
The Crimson will open the second half of its season on Saturday, Oct. 26, against Ivy-foe Princeton. Part of Harvard's Family Weekend, the contest will begin at 3 p.m. ET, with Harvard looking for its first series win since 2016.
 
A trip to The Granite State is next up for the Crimson as it is set to face Dartmouth on Saturday, Nov. 2. Harvard and the Big Green will meet on the gridiron at 1:30 p.m. ET, with the Crimson in search of its third straight series win.
 
Harvard will welcome Columbia to Harvard Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 9, for a noon ET Military Appreciation game. The Crimson has split the last four meetings with the Lions, but won 14 in a row prior to the recent see-saw battle.
 
Harvard's final road trip of the campaign will take it to the City of Brotherly Love to face Penn on Saturday, Nov. 16. The Crimson, which won a triple-overtime thriller last season to clinch the Ivy title, has won three straight in the series, including a 37-14 decision at Franklin Field in 2022.
 
The Crimson's season finale will bring Yale to Harvard Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 23. The 140^th playing of The Game is scheduled for a noon ET start.
