PHILADELPHIA – Coming off an autumn without any varsity competition on the gridiron, the University of Pennsylvania football team is excited to announce its 2021 schedule. This fall marks the 144th season for the Quakers and the 126th spent at historic Franklin Field.

In the team's sixth season under George A. Munger Head Coach Ray Priore, the Red and Blue will play a 10-game slate, highlighted by five contests at Franklin Field.

"We are excited for the 2021 season," said Priore. "We are looking forward to building off a successful spring and the players and coaches have been working extremely hard. Everyone within our program is gearing up for kickoff on September 18 and being able to represent the Red and Blue on the field."

The season gets underway for the Quakers with a pair of non-conference tilts on the road against Bucknell (Sept. 18) and Lafayette (Sept. 25).

Penn begins the 10th month of the calendar year with back-to-back home clashes against Dartmouth (Oct. 2) and Lehigh (Oct. 9). The meeting with the Mountain Hawks at Franklin Field caps the non-conference slate for the Quakers, with the final six games of the year featuring opponents from the Ancient Eight.

The Red and Blue close out October with two straight road games at Columbia (Oct. 16) and Yale (Oct. 23) before they return to University City for a meeting with Brown (Oct. 30).

The final month of the season sees Penn close with two home games at America's oldest and most historic college football venue as Cornell (Nov. 6) and Princeton (Nov. 20) come to Philadelphia sandwiched around a road game versus Harvard (Nov. 13).
