The Bryant Bulldogs enter the 2026 campaign aiming to make a distinct statement in Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) Football under head coach Chris Merritt. Coming off a period of roster transitions and step-ups in competition, the Black and Gold head into a historic twelve-game regular-season schedule. For the first time in program history at the Division I level, Bryant opens the year with three consecutive road contests, highlighted by a high-profile showdown against FBS power Army and a renewing of local rivalries against Stonehill. The home slate at Beirne Stadium features a non-conference matchup with Ivy League contender Princeton and key CAA showdowns against regional programs like Rhode Island, UAlbany, and Stony Brook. Armed with an intriguing blend of battle-tested upperclassmen and talented incoming transfers, the Bulldogs are focused on improving physical execution, depth, and overall execution against one of the toughest schedules in program history.
