Stetson Football Schedule: Dates, Times, Tv Channels For 2026 Season

The Stetson Hatters started earlier than most college football teams around the country.

To kick off the season, they trekked to Brookings, South Dakota, for a tough Week 0 matchup against No. 3 South Dakota State last weekend. The FCS powerhouse took care of business, dispatching the Hatters 70-7.

But that’s not the game Stetson will be judged on in 2026. It has 11 more outings this fall, beginning with a Sept. 5 contest against Webber International. 

After that, it will visit Volusia County neighbor Bethune-Cookman and then make a long trip to California for a meeting with UC Davis. That wraps up the Hatters’ non-conference slate.

They receive a bye week before diving into Pioneer Football League action at home against Marist on Oct. 3.

In Year 2 under head coach Mike Jasper, Stetson is hoping to build on its 3-9 record from 2025. The last time it posted a winning campaign was 2019.
