NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware athletic department, in conjunction with the CAA, has announced the kickoff times for the upcoming 2023 football season. Fans will have six opportunities to catch the Blue Hens in action at Delaware Stadium, including matchups against four CAA opponents.
The Blue & Gold will begin the campaign with a pair of road games, starting with a 7 p.m. contest at Stony Brook on Thursday, August 31. The kickoff time for Delaware's game at Penn State will be determined at a later date.
The first opportunity to see the Blue Hens at Delaware Stadium will be on Saturday, September 16 as Saint Francis (Pa.) will make the trip to Newark for the third-straight season. Kickoff for the home opener is set for 6 p.m. It will also be a rematch of last season's FCS Championship First Round game, a 56-17 Delaware victory.

New Hampshire will visit Newark for the first time since 2019 on September 23 for a 6 p.m. contest before UD steps back out of CAA play to host Duquesne on October 7.
