The series opens on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026, when Morgan State hosts Robert Morris at Hughes Stadium in Baltimore, Md. That matchup first surfaced in late January with the release of the Morgan State’s 2026 schedule.
A copy of the game contract, obtained from Morgan State University through a state public records request, confirms that a return game is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 2, 2027, at Joe Walton Stadium in Moon Township, Pa.
The programs have met twice on the gridiron, with Morgan State edging out a 13-12 victory in 2011 before Robert Morris answered two years later with a 31-14 win. Morgan State competes in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), while Robert Morris represents the Northeast Conference (NEC).
Morgan State’s 2026 non-conference slate also includes a home tilt with Virginia-Lynchburg (Sept. 12) and road trips to North Carolina A&T (Aug. 29), Arizona State (Sept. 5), Towson (Sept. 19), Villanova (Oct. 3), and Tennessee State (Oct. 17).
