The Eagles’ football schedule will feature five home games and six road contests, including matchups at home against Howard University and North Carolina A&T. The game against the Bison on Oct. 31 will be of the trick or treat variety with a Halloween homecoming game, the same day as arch-rival North Carolina A&T.
Speaking of A&T, NCCU will host its neighbors from Greensboro on Nov. 21.
On September 12, the Eagles will renew its in-state rivalry with former CIAA foe Winston-Salem University. The Rams and Eagles have not played one another since 2010 when WSSU left Durham with a win. The all-time series is 22-22 between both teams.
