2021 FALL FOOTBALL WEB SCHEDULE
RICHMOND, Va. – In conjunction with CAA Football, the University of New Hampshire announced its Fall 2021 schedule on Wednesday.
UNH, with head coach Sean McDonnell back on the sidelines, will kick off the Fall 2021 season Saturday, Sept. 4 at Stony Brook University.
The Wildcats' first home game of the Fall 2021 season is Saturday, Sept. 11 against Towson University.
New Hampshire then goes out of conference and on the road to play Lafayette University (Sept. 18) and the University of Pittsburgh (Sept. 25). It'll be the first meeting against Lafayette since the Wildcats' NCAA postseason win in 2013, and the second-ever meeting vs. Pitt – the first was in September 2010.
The 'Cats usher in October with a home game against James Madison University on Oct. 2. The Wildcats upended JMU in the most recent meeting at Wildcat Stadium (November 2018).
Following an open week, UNH welcomes intrastate rival Dartmouth College to Wildcat Stadium on Oct. 16. These programs have not met since September 2017, and it will be the first matchup in Durham since the 2014 season.
New Hampshire closes the fall season with five consecutive CAA conference games. The stretch begins Oct. 23 at Elon University.
The University of Richmond travels to Durham for an Oct. 30 matchup. Despite being in the same conference, this will be the first meeting between UNH and Richmond since the 2015 season.
Next up is a trip to the Empire State against UAlbany on Nov. 6, and the Wildcats are back on the road Nov. 13 at the University of Rhode Island.
And the Battle for the Brice-Cowell Musket resumes with the Nov. 20 regular-season finale at Wildcat Stadium. UNH prevailed 28-10 in the 2019 regular-season finale, which was also at Wildcat Stadium.
Season ticket information for New Hampshire's Fall 2021 football season will be forthcoming.
The Wildcats are scheduled to kick off the Spring 2021 season March 5 vs. UAlbany at Wildcat Stadium.
