Delaware Blue Hens Receive 2026 Football Schedule from Conference USA

Conference USA has unveiled the 2026 football schedule for the University of Delaware Blue Hens. The defending 68 Ventures Bowl champions will play 12 games total, featuring eight conference matchups split evenly between home and away contests.

The University of Delaware football team now knows its complete 2026 schedule after Conference USA revealed the slate late Thursday evening from Newark.

The Fightin’ Blue Hens will play a total of 12 games during the upcoming season, combining their four previously confirmed non-conference matchups with eight newly announced Conference USA battles. Delaware will host four conference games at home while traveling for four others on the road.

As the reigning 68 Ventures Bowl champions from 2025, Delaware faces a challenging schedule that pits them against eight opponents who earned bowl game appearances last season.

The complete schedule details the Blue Hens’ path through their Conference USA campaign as they look to defend their bowl championship from the previous year.
