2019 EMU Schedule

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) —
The Eastern Michigan University Department of Athletics released the opponents on its 2019 football schedule today, Dec. 21.  Dates are set for the four non-conference games, but will be announced later for the eight Mid-American Conference contests.
    
EMU kicks off the year on the "surf turf" of Coastal Carolina University, Aug. 31, before heading to Lexington, Ky. to battle the University of Kentucky, Sept. 7. The Eagles then look for their third consecutive victory over a Big Ten Conference opponent, Sept. 14, with a visit to the University of Illinois.
    
After three weeks on the road, the Eagles return home Saturday, Sept. 21, against Central Connecticut State University to open a new-look Rynearson Stadium that will feature the Student-Athlete Performance and Success Center in the north endzone.
 
Eastern Michigan will host four Mid-American Conference opponents: Ball State, Buffalo, Kent State, and Western Michigan. MAC road games will be at Akron, Central Michigan, Northern Illinois, and Toledo.

EMU played all eight MAC opponents in 2018, finishing league play above .500 for the first time since 1995 with a record of 5-3 mark.
 
Football season tickets will go on sale in the coming weeks. Call 734.487.3669 for more information.
