NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware and Colonial Athletic Association have announced the football schedule for the upcoming 2022 season. Fans will have six opportunities to see the Blue Hens play at Delaware Stadium, including four matchups against CAA opponents.
Ryan Carty will make his head coaching debut when the Blue Hens open the 2022 campaign with a short trip down the road to Annapolis for a matchup against FBS opponent Navy on September 3. It will be the 18th all-time meeting between the Blue Hens and Midshipmen, and the first since 2013. Delaware's last win against an FBS opponent came in 2007 when UD defeated Navy 59-52 behind Joe Flacco's four touchdown passes and four rushing scores by Omar Cuff.
The first opportunity for Blue Hen fans to pile into Delaware Stadium will be on September 10. Delaware will renew the Route 1 Rivalry with Delaware State and host the Hornets in the home opener. The two programs have met 10 times since 2007, with the Blue Hens owning a 10-0 record against the Hornets.
CAA play opens when UD travels to Rhode Island (Sept. 17) before returning home for conference matchups against Hampton (Sept. 24) and Towson (Oct. 1). It will be the first all-time meeting between the Blue Hens and Pirates, who are entering their first season in the CAA. The matchup against the Tigers will be the first time the two programs have met since 2019.
A trip to William & Mary (Oct. 8) will lead the Blue Hens into their bye week before hosting Morgan State (Oct. 22) to close out non-conference play.
The final stretch of CAA games begins with a road date at Elon on October 29. It will be just the fifth all-time meeting between the Blue Hens and Phoenix, and the first since 2019. The Blue & Gold will welcome new CAA member Monmouth to Newark on November 5 for just the second meeting ever. The only previous matchup between the two programs came in 2007, a 42-7 UD victory.
The Blue Hens will play their final home game of the regular season when they host Richmond on November 12 before hitting the road to close the season at Villanova on November 19 in the annual Battle of the Blue.
Game times and promotions for the 2022 season will be announced at a later date.
