HAMPTON, Va. – Hampton University Director of Athletics Eugene Marshall, Jr. and Head Football Coach Robert Prunty announced the 2018 football schedule this afternoon. Hampton will have an 11-game non-conference schedule, with six home dates and five matchups with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU).

“Despite opposition from certain quarters, it is with great pleasure that we can announce our 2018 football schedule,” said Hampton University President Dr. William R. Harvey. “We appreciate the patience of our fans and the assistance of many people to get a schedule for the fall.”

“This schedule has relationships written all over it, as you acquire and develop good relationships with people you can get things done,” Prunty said. “We play five HBCU schools, reaching alumni from Connecticut to Philadelphia in the East, to Chicago in the Midwest playing Northern Iowa and in the Deep South playing Mississippi Valley State. This schedule will get us prepared to start our conference schedule in 2019.”
