The Yale Bulldogs have announced their 2025 football schedule, which features six home games and 10 contests overall.
Yale opens the 2025 season with a pair of non-league tilts at the Yale Bowl, beginning with a Sept. 20 visit from the Holy Cross Crusaders, the 2024 Patriot League champs. The following Saturday, the Bulldogs will welcome the Cornell Big Red to open Ivy League play.
October opens with Yale making an Oct. 4 trek to Goodman Stadium in Bethlehem, Pa., to square off with the Lehigh Mountain Hawks of the Patriot League. The final non-Ivy outing of the season takes place Saturday, Oct. 18, as the Stonehill Skyhawks of the NEC come calling.
The Ivy slate resumes with an Oct. 11 visit to Dartmouth. The Bulldogs will also hit the road for Ivy games at Brown on Nov. 8 and Princeton on Nov. 15.
Additional home games in the conference include Penn on Oct. 25, Columbia on Nov. 1, and Harvard for The Game on Nov. 22.

As A Chicago Bears Fan I would really like to see Yale Alumni Gary Fencik be a senior Finalist for 2026 Pro Football Hall of Fame & Gary is well overdue & fully deserve it.
Here are four things I like to see happen in College Football.
1. Notre Dame-USC rivalry to continue & play third Saturday of October every year.
2. UCLA-USC play every Thanksgiving.
3. SEC go to nine game conference schedule which very, very likely will happen.
4. Yale-Harvard be on regular TV on ABC Noon time slot will fit perfectly.
Mmmmmmm……..Yale Bowl……….went to the wild 44-43 Dartmouth OT victory over Yale last October. The Bowl is ancient…..charming……..beat up……..huge…….beautiful! No overly-loud music, no wild scoreboards, they grilled my hamburger for lunch on the spot!
Not sure at all how Yale deals with 50,000 people when Harvard comes to town, but the 5,000 or so of us at Dartmouth-Yale in 2024 had a fabulous time! An outstanding reminder of a bygone era! A one-time must-see for any serious college football fan!
Would love to see 11 games lates and an out of the Northeast opponent like Montana, Illinois State, but it is what it is. It’s old Northeast football—Patriot League and Stonehill.
Years ago, Yale went out to San Diego and won—that would be nice down the road.
