Harvard Women’s Lacrosse 2026 Season Schedule
Harvard women’s lacrosse is gearing up for an exciting 2026 season. Coach Devon Wills announced the schedule, which marks the 50th anniversary of the program.
The season kicks off at Jordan Field with a much-anticipated game against Notre Dame on February 15. On March 28, the Crimson will celebrate their anniversary with a special game against Brown.
Throughout the season, Harvard plays six home games. After facing Notre Dame, they’ll visit Bryant on February 18, where they enjoyed a solid win last year, scoring 23 goals. Following that, they’ll head to Albany for another rematch on February 21.
Once back in Cambridge, the team will compete in their first Ivy League games, hosting Dartmouth on February 28, followed by Princeton. Last year, they narrowly defeated Dartmouth but faced a loss against Princeton. Their last home game against Princeton was thrilling, ending in an 18-17 overtime showdown.
The team will have some road challenges too, including a match against Boston College on March 12 and another against Duke. These games are crucial as they keep building team dynamics and strategies.
On March 24, they’ll return home to play Holy Cross before the big 50th-anniversary celebration against Brown. After these celebrations, the Crimson will hit the road for multiple games, starting with Penn on April 4.
To wrap up the regular season, Harvard will play Cornell at home, followed by away games against Yale, UConn, and Columbia. The Ivy League Women’s Lacrosse Tournament is set for May 1-3, promising more competitive action.
Last season was thrilling for Harvard. They narrowly missed the NCAA tournament but started strong, winning three of their first four games, including two notable upsets against ranked teams like Navy and UConn.
With all this excitement ahead, fans can catch all six home games for a reasonable price. Season tickets, which include free parking, can be found here.
For women’s sports, the momentum is clear. According to a recent survey, interest in women’s lacrosse has grown significantly, with participation rates rising over 20% in the last five years. This trend reflects a broader shift toward supporting women’s sports, further amplified by social media campaigns celebrating female athletes. As Harvard celebrates this milestone, it embodies a growing legacy in women’s athletics.
