Which Mercyhurst Lakers games are worth watching in 2026?
Mercyhurst opens with a storyline-rich Week 0 trip to Youngstown State, facing former head coach Ryan Riemedio in his new role as the Penguins' defensive coordinator. The Lakers then embark on a demanding stretch with three FBS road tests in a four-week span — first-ever meetings with New Mexico State and New Mexico, followed by a trip to Western Kentucky.
The season closes with a centennial celebration on November 21, as Mercyhurst hosts New Haven for Homecoming in a game marking 100 years of university history, capping new head coach Thomas Sydeski's debut season at the helm.
