American college football season
The 2025 Cornell Big Red football team will represent Cornell University as a member of the Ivy League during the 2024 NCAA Division I FCS football season. The team will be led by second-year head coach Dan Swanstrom and will play its home games at Schoellkopf Field in Ithaca, New York.
On August 4, Ivy League announced the preseason poll. Big Red were selected to finish in the seventh position.[1]
The Cornell Big Red's 2024 football schedule consists of five away and five home games. Cornell will host Ivy League opponents Brown, Princeton, and Columbia, and will travel to Yale, Harvard, Penn, and Dartmouth. Cornell's non-conference opponents will be Albany of the Coastal Athletic Association Football Conference, rival Colgate of the Patriot League, and Bucknell, also of the Patriot League. Homecoming will coincide with the Big Red's home opener against Colgate on October 4.[2][3]
In 2024, Cornell finished 4–6 overall and 3–4 in conference play.
