BOWIE, Md. – The full Bowie State University football schedule for the 2022 season is now official with a five-game Bulldog home slate that features games against New Haven, Livingstone, Virginia Union, Chowan and Lincoln (PA).
In 2022, the Bulldogs will play road games Saginaw Valley State, Shaw, Saint Augustine’s, Virginia State and Elizabeth City State.
“We have been able to schedule another very competitive schedule starting with our two non-conference games,” said head coach Damon Wilson. “We believe that it’s extremely important to play very good programs to prepare us for conference play and a possible playoff opportunity. We look forward to a very tough schedule for the 2022 season.”
Bowie State will open the 2022 slate in Bulldog Stadium on Sept. 3 of Labor Day weekend against the Chargers of New Haven. It will be the teams’ fifth meeting and second in the last two seasons.
