NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale football team has announced its 2025 schedule, featuring six games at the historic Yale Bowl, Class of 1954 Field. Season tickets for the 2025 season also went on sale here.  
 
Team 152 kicks off the season with back-to-back home matchups, beginning Sept. 20 against Holy Cross, the reigning Patriot League champions. The Bulldogs have opened each season against the Crusaders since 2018, with Holy Cross claiming six consecutive conference titles. Yale will then host Cornell on Sept. 27. The Big Red finished fifth in the Ivy League standings last season. 
 
The Bulldogs hit the road for two straight weeks starting with a non-conference matchup at Lehigh on Oct. 4, followed by a visit to Dartmouth on Oct. 11. The Big Green captured a share of the Ivy League title for the second consecutive year in 2024. 
 
Yale returns home for its final non-conference game of the season, hosting Stonehill on Oct. 18. It will mark the first-ever meeting between the Bulldogs and Skyhawks. 
 
A key Ivy League stretch begins in late October, with Penn (Oct. 25) and Columbia (Nov. 1) coming to New Haven for back-to-back weekends. Yale defeated Penn, 31-10, under the lights in 2024, while Columbia is coming off its second-ever Ivy League title after finishing 5-2 in conference play. 
 
Following the three-game homestand, Yale hits the road to close out its away schedule, traveling to Brown on Nov. 8 and Princeton on Nov. 15. 
 
The 2025 regular season concludes with the 141st edition of The Game on Nov. 22, when Harvard visits the Yale Bowl. The Bulldogs earned a thrilling 34-29 win over the Crimson in Cambridge last season and have now won three straight and six of the last eight meetings. Yale will honor its senior class prior to kickoff.
