CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard Athletics is set to have four events air live on NESN in Fall 2026, which continues its annual affiliation with the network. The Crimson will appear once in September, twice in October, and one additional time in November.
 
The Harvard slate begins Thursday, Sept. 10, when women's soccer plays host to Northeastern at 7 p.m. ET. The Crimson leads the all-time series with the Huskies, 8-2-2, and is unbeaten in its last four meetings (3-0-1). Last season saw the two teams battle to a 1-1 draw.
 
Harvard Field Hockey, which won the 2025 Ivy League title and advanced to the NCAA Semifinals a year ago, will face local foe, Boston University, on Sunday, Oct. 18, with game time set for 1 p.m. ET. The Crimson owns a 20-18-1 all-time edge vs. the Terriers, but will enter the contest having won nine consecutive head-to-head matchups.
 
The Crimson men's soccer team will have its time on NESN on Wednesday, Oct. 21, vs. Stonehill. The 7 p.m. ET tilt will feature a pair of teams that have met just twice before (2024, 2025), with each side winning once. Last season, however, saw Harvard emerge victorious, earning a 4-2 road decision.
 
Harvard's final appearance of the fall is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 8, when its men's water polo team welcomes Iona to Blodgett Pool. First sprint is confirmed for 10 a.m. ET. The Crimson, which has won 20 or more games in 11 consecutive seasons, is 52-19 all-time vs. Iona and has won 24 straight vs. the Gaels.
 
The Crimson will also have events on NESN during the Winter and Spring seasons, with those scheduled to be announced at a later time.
