NEWARK, Del. – The University of Delaware athletic department, in conjunction with the CAA, has announced the kickoff times for the upcoming 2024 football season. Fans will have seven opportunities to catch the Blue Hens in action at Delaware Stadium.
For the first time since the 2020-21 spring season, the Blue Hens will open the season at home as they host Bryant in a Thursday night matchup at 7 p.m. on August 29. Because the game was originally scheduled before Bryant joined the CAA, it will not count as a conference game.
After an early bye week, Delaware will travel to North Carolina A&T to open conference play on September 14. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. and it will be UD's first trip to Greensboro as the Aggies joined the conference prior to the 2023 season.
The Blue & Gold will return home for a pair of games at Delaware Stadium starting with a matchup against Penn at 6 p.m. on September 21. The Blue Hens will close out nonconference play with a 3:30 p.m. contest on September 28 against Sacred Heart, which will be a part of Delaware's Parents & Family Weekend.
Delaware will head back on the road for a 1 p.m. kickoff at Monmouth on October 5, before returning home to Newark the following week for a matchup against Maine. Kickoff against the Black Bears is set for 1 p.m. on October 12. The Blue Hens will travel to Richmond on October 19 for a matchup against the Spiders that is slated to start at 3:30 p.m.
A three-game homestand will begin against UAlbany, a 2023 FCS semifinalist, at 3 p.m. on October 26 at Delaware Stadium. The contest will be a part of the University of UD's Homecoming Weekend. Following a second bye week, Rhode Island will make its first trip to Newark since 2018 for a 1 p.m. game on November 9. The homestand will conclude on November 16 when Campbell makes its first-ever trip to Delaware Stadium for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
The 2024 season will conclude on November 23 when the Blue & Gold visits Villanova at 1 p.m. for the Battle of the Blue.
Individual game tickets will go on sale later this spring. Season tickets for the 2024 season are on sale now. Due to high demand, seating in the best locations in Delaware Stadium is limited. Season ticket membership for the 2024 season locks in pricing for 2025 for the Blue Hens' first season of FBS play.
Season ticket members will also be able to attend an exclusive pregame event in the Whitney Athletic Stadium Club prior to the annual Blue-White Spring Game, presented by Delaware State Parks, on Friday, April 19.
