UAlbany adds six games to future football schedules

By Kevin Kelley -

The UAlbany Great Danes have added six games to their future non-conference football schedules, FBSchedules.com has learned.

Copies of contracts for each game were obtained from the University at Albany via a state Freedom of Information Law request. UAlbany is a member of the Coastal Athletic Conference (CAA) in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).

Overall, UAlbany has added six future football games against four different opponents. The Great Danes will face the LIU Sharks, Delaware State Hornets, Yale Bulldogs, and New Haven Chargers over the next five seasons.

Below are details on all six games added by UAlbany:

LIU Sharks

UAlbany hosted the LIU Sharks on Aug. 31, 2024, winning 27-21. That game was the first of a home-and-home series, which will conclude when the Great Danes visit Bethpage Federal Credit Union Stadium in Brookville, N.Y., on Sept. 19, 2026.

Delaware State Hornets

During Week 2 of the 2025 season (Sept. 6), UAlbany traveled to face Delaware State at Alumni Stadium in Dover, Dela., and fell to the Hornets, 37-32. That contest was also the first of a home-and-home series, with the return game set for Sept. 26, 2026, at Bob Ford Field in Albany, N.Y.

Yale Bulldogs

UAlbany has scheduled a home-and-home series with the Yale Bulldogs, a member of the Ivy League. The series will begin in Albany on Sept. 18, 2027 and will conclude at the Yale Bowl in New Haven, Conn., the following season on Sept. 30, 2028.

Would like to see UAlbany take on Big 12 opponents again, like they played Baylor in 2023.
Preferably TCU or Iowa State

I’d like to see U Albany get some wins under their belt THIS season before thinking of future seasons! They’ve been HORRIBLE these past 2 years!🤷🏽‍♀️

I live in Albany—-went to a game this year. They have a nice tailgating setup, but the product is just not good. They had a nice run when they reached the CFP semifinals, but for some reason, they can’t find and develop QBs. The Albany-Cornell game set QB play back to the 1970s—just bad.

I’d like to go to more games, but every time I attend, it has been a tough watch.

Off to Syracuse today for Pittsburgh!
