BALTIMORE, MD – Johns Hopkins football coach Dan Wodicka announced the Blue Jays' 2026 schedule today.  For the second consecutive year, the Blue Jays' 10-game regular-season schedule features seven Centennial Conference games, three non-conference games and five games at Homewood Field.
 
The Blue Jays will open the season on Saturday, September 5 against Ithaca to jump-start a three-game non-conference run that also includes games against Randolph-Macon and Susquehanna.  Johns Hopkins' three non-conference opponents combined to post a 28-7 (.800) record last season with Susquehanna advancing to the NCAA Quarterfinals while posting an 11-3 record.  Randolph-Macon finished 9-2 with an ODAC title and trip to the NCAA Playoffs to its credit, while Ithaca went 8-2 and finished as the runner-up in the Liberty League.
 
After a bye week, the Blue Jays will open Centennial Conference play on Friday, October 2 when they travel to Dickinson.  That will jump-start a three-game road swing that will also see the Blue Jays visit Carnegie Mellon and Ursinus.  Home games against Gettysburg on Friday, October 23 and Muhlenberg on Saturday, October 31 will close the month of October.
 
Johns Hopkins will hit the road for the final time during he 2026 regular season on November 7 at McDaniel before closing the regular season at home against Franklin & Marshall on Friday, November 13 (7 pm).
 
This will be the first time Johns Hopkins plays three games on Friday night in one season since 1999 and the three-game road swing to open October will mark the first time the Blue Jays play three consecutive regular season games on the road since the first three games of the 2010 season.
 
Johns Hopkins posted a 12-2 record and advanced to the NCAA Semifinals for the second consecutive year in 2025.
