Virginia will host Delaware on Sept. 26 at 6 p.m. ET in Scott Stadium, and the matchup will carry extra meaning as the Cavaliers’ annual UVA Strong game. It will also be the first meeting between Virginia and the Fightin’ Blue Hens, turning a non-conference finale into one of the more notable dates on the schedule.
The UVA Strong game is tied to remembrance, and Virginia will honor Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler and D’Sean Perry during the event. The three former players were killed in a shooting on Grounds on Nov. 13, 2022, and permanent memorials for them are displayed at Scott Stadium and on UVA’s Legends Walk.
For Virginia, the game is about more than a result. It is the final Fan-First game, and it includes discounted tickets as well as a giveaway for the first 30,000 fans. That makes the night both a football event and a campus observance, with the program bringing together remembrance, community and a season-ending home matchup.
Fans can expect the usual home-game coverage as well. The game will be available on ACC Network and the Virginia Sports Radio Network, giving supporters multiple ways to follow the Cavaliers and Blue Hens in real time.
On the field, Virginia will try to close the non-conference portion of its schedule on a high note. The first-ever meeting with Delaware gives the Cavaliers a fresh opponent, but the broader context of the night is clear: this is a chance to recognize former players, bring the fan base together and mark another chapter in the UVA Strong game tradition.
