BALTIMORE, MD – Johns Hopkins football coach Dan Wodicka announced the Blue Jays' 2025 schedule today. The Blue Jays' 10-game regular-season schedule features seven Centennial Conference games, three non-conference games and five games at Homewood Field.
The Blue Jays will open the season on Saturday, September 6 at Ithaca to jump-start a three-game non-conference run that also includes games against John Carroll and Susquehanna. Johns Hopkins' three non-conference opponents combined to post a 27-9 (.750) record last season with Susquehanna advancing to the NCAA Semifinals and John Carroll advancing to the second round of the NCAA Playoffs.
After a bye week, the Blue Jays will open Centennial Conference play at home on Friday, October 3 when they welcome Dickinson to Baltimore. A week later, Carnegie Mellon, which has joined the Centennial as an affiliate member for football only, will visit Homewood Field for the first time since 2004. Johns Hopkins will cap its three-game homestand against Ursinus on October 18. With back-to-back games against Carnegie Mellon and Ursinus capping the first six games on the schedule, the Blue Jays will play four of their first six games against teams that advanced to the NCAA Playoffs in 2024 and the combined record of Hopkins' first six opponents was 51-19 (.729) last season.
The Blue Jays will play three of their final four games on the road with trips to Gettysburg, Muhlenberg and Franklin & Marshall offset by a home game against McDaniel. For the first time since 1979, Johns Hopkins will not close the regular season against McDaniel as the addition of Carnegie Mellon to the Centennial required an adjustment to the schedule.
Johns Hopkins posted a 12-2 record, won the Centennial Conference title and advanced to the NCAA Semifinals during Wodicka's first season in 2024.
