CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard Men's Swimming and Diving announced its 2026-27 schedule today. The upcoming slate features three home dates, with one occurring in November and two set for January.
 
The Crimson has one scrimmage on the docket and that is scheduled for Oct. 23, at nearby MIT.
 
Harvard opens the regular season with two dates – away and at home – against four Ivy League opponents. The campaign will begin on Nov. 7, at Cornell with Penn before competing at Blodgett Pool on Nov. 14, against Brown and Columbia. The Crimson defeated all four foes in 2025.
 
Three days after its head-to-head matchups with the Bears and Lions, Harvard will appear at the Ohio State Fall Invitational, which is slated for Nov. 17-20. After the trip to Big Ten country, the Crimson will split its squad, with its divers set to visit another Big Ten school – Minnesota – for the Minnesota Invitational (Dec. 2-5) and its swimmers scheduled to travel to Chestnut Hill to face Boston College (Dec. 5).
 
Harvard will open the new year with another road tilt as its schedule takes it to West Point, New York, to take on Army on Jan. 8. The Crimson, which is 46-14 all-time vs. the Black Knights, is slated to face Army for the first time since Nov. 2000.
 
A brief stop at home to face UMass on Jan. 13, is up next before hitting the road for dates at Dartmouth (Jan. 15-16) and Howard (Jan. 18). The Crimson is 82-11 all-time vs. the Big Green and has never faced the Bison.
 
Harvard's final home appearance is scheduled for Jan. 22, when Boston University makes the short trip to Blodgett. The meet is the Crimson's final tuneup before competing against Yale and Princeton in New Jersey, Jan. 29-30.
 
After the annual HYP meet, Harvard will head to Providence, Rhode Island, for the Ivy League Championships (Feb. 24-27). The Crimson will be in search of its first conference crown since 2024.
 
Harvard will end the campaign, pending qualification, at a pair of NCAA events. The NCAA Zone A Diving Championships are slated for March 8-10, while the national meet is set for March 24-27.
 
The Crimson finished the 2025-26 season with an 8-1 dual-meet record, including a 6-1 mark in the Ivy League. At the national level, Harvard finished the campaign ranked 39th at the NCAA Championships, marking its first appearance in the final team standings since 2022.
