The five games that Morgan State has added are against three different opponents. Two of the opponents are within the FCS, while one is a member of the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA).

Hampton Pirates

Earlier this year, Morgan State and Hampton announced a matchup for Aug. 31, 2024 in Hampton, Va. Per a copy of the contract, the game is part of a home-and-home series that will conclude on Sept. 14, 2030 at Hughes Stadium in Baltimore, Md.
