This game offers a unique opportunity for the Bears to test their mettle early against a rising FBS team.

The Bears will embark on a journey to Washington D.C. on October 4th, where they'll clash with the Georgetown Hoyas.

On October 11th, they'll welcome the Virginia-Lynchburg Dragons to their home turf, aiming to deliver a memorable performance for their loyal fans and alumni during this celebrated occasion.
The Bears face a crucial early test in their Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) campaign this season, kicking things off with a highly anticipated Beltway battle against the Howard Bison at Greene Stadium on October 25th. This rivalry game holds extra weight as the conference opener, setting the tone for Morgan's MEAC championship aspirations.
The challenge only intensifies the following week, as they hit the road to face the South Carolina State Bulldogs in Orangeburg on November 1st.

Following this, the team will hit the road, venturing to The Tidewater on November 15th for a highly anticipated showdown against the Norfolk State Spartans.

Morgan will close out their season at home for a matchup against the North Carolina Central Eagles on November 22nd at Hughes Stadium.
