Nationally Ranked Football at Columbia to Air on ESPN2

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard Football's game at Columbia on Friday, Nov. 7, has been elevated from ESPNU to ESPN2. The start time, however, remains unchanged and kick-off will be at 7 p.m. ET from Robert K. Kraft Field at Lawrence A. Wien Stadium.

Friday's Ivy League game will mark the third straight season the Crimson will have appeared on ESPN2. The other two times have resulted in Harvard victories, both of which came against Cornell (2023 at Cambridge, 2024 at Ithaca, New York).

The Crimson, ranked No. 15 in the AFCA Coaches FCS Poll and No. 12 in the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 Poll this past week, is coming off a 31-10 home win over Dartmouth on Saturday. The victory over the Big Green, which was receiving votes in both top-25 polls, pushed Harvard to 7-0 on the season and 4-0 in the Ivy.

The Crimson enters this week's nationally televised game with a spotless 7-0 record for the first time since 2015. Harvard also sits atop the Ivy League standings, one game ahead of 3-1 Penn and Yale.
