Delaware Blue Hens Get 2026 Football Schedule After Conference USA Settlement

Conference USA revealed Delaware’s revised 2026 football schedule on Tuesday after resolving a settlement agreement with Louisiana Tech that required schedule adjustments across the league.

The Fightin’ Blue Hens will compete in a dozen games during the upcoming season, combining their four previously scheduled non-conference matchups with eight Conference USA battles. Delaware will host four conference games at home while traveling for four others.

The schedule presents a challenging slate for the reigning 68 Ventures Bowl champions, as they’ll face eight opponents that earned bowl game appearances during the previous season. This marks a significant test for the Blue Hens as they look to build on their recent postseason success.

The announcement from the Dallas-based conference office comes as leagues continue to navigate scheduling complexities amid ongoing realignment discussions and legal settlements affecting member institutions.
