Only 72 days stand in between the next time that East Carolina University’s football team take the field of Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville, North Carolina.
The first matchup of the year will be at home against Norfolk State University on Saturday Aug. 31. The last time ECU took on a FCS opponent, it was Gardner Webb, who they defeated 44 – 0 last year. Up next will be the first road trip of the year against Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia on Sep. 7.
One of the more notable matchups for the Pirates takes place on Saturday, Sep. 14 back in Greenville. ECU takes on Appalachian State in a rematch of last year’s matchup that the Pirates lost 28 – 43 in Boone, North Carolina. ECU held a halftime lead of 21-16 before Appalachian scored 20 points in the 3rd quarter to ultimately take the lead and never looked back.
The rest of the schedule for the Pirates looks like this. They round out the rest of September with matchups against Liberty away from home on Sep. 21 and at home versus the University of Texas San-Antonio (UTSA) on Sep. 28, both of Saturdays. The matchup against UTSA begins conference play for ECU in the American Athletic Conference (AAC)
Oct. 5 is a matchup with the University of Charlotte in Charlotte, North Carolina, followed by another road game against Army in West Point, New York on Oct. 19. Temple faces ECU back at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Oct. 26. Temple and ECU haven’t played since November 26, 2022, a game where ECU was victorious in a high scoring 49 – 46 outing.
November begins with two Thursday games, with the first being ECU against Florida Atlantic University on Thursday, Nov. 7. A week from then on Thursday, Nov. 14, the Pirates travel down to Tulsa, Oklahoma to face off against Tulsa University. The game against Tulsa will be broadcasted on ESPN.
To round out the final two games of the season, the Pirates will play North Texas University in Denton, Texas on Saturday, Nov. 23. ECU ends the year in front of the home crowd with a game against the Naval Academy on Friday, Nov. 29. If the Pirates were to make it to the AAC championship game, that game at the moment is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 6.
