The Penn Quakers have announced their 2026 football schedule, which features five home games and 10 contests overall.
“This season represents something special—not only the beginning of a new chapter for our program, but also a celebration of 150 years of Penn Football,” said George A. Munger Head Coach Rick Santos. “We stand on the shoulders of great players, coaches, and teams who built this tradition and established a championship standard.
“We’re honored to carry that responsibility forward every day in how we work, compete, and represent this university. There is tremendous excitement within our building, and we look forward to building a team that honors Penn Football’s history while competing to create a legacy of its own.”
The Quakers open the season on September 19 with a road trip to Bucknell. Penn then returns to Franklin Field on September 26 for its home opener against Lehigh.
Ivy League play begins on October 3 when the Quakers travel to Dartmouth, followed by their final non‑conference game of the season on October 10 at home against Howard. Penn remains in Philadelphia on October 17 to host Columbia before welcoming Yale on October 24 in a key midseason Ivy matchup.
The Quakers then begin a two‑game road stretch, traveling to Brown on October 31 and Cornell on November 7. Penn returns home on November 14 to host Harvard for Homecoming in its final appearance at Franklin Field during the 2026 campaign.
