About The Game: Harvard-Yale 2026

America's oldest college football rivalry brings two sets of alumni, current students and families together for a day that runs on tradition as much as on the scoreline. Tailgating starts hours before kickoff, with generations of graduates swapping stories about past meetings and arguing over bragging rights that get settled all over again each year.

Playing the fixture at a historic ballpark rather than either school's own stadium adds a neutral-ground novelty, squeezing the gridiron into a baseball park's tighter footprint.

Where to stay nearby

Brookline sits closest to the ground, just a few kilometres out, and its smaller catalog of seven hotels tends to book up quickly given the demand from alumni. Cambridge, home to Harvard itself, offers a much wider choice with 22 hotels and a lively atmosphere in the run-up to the game. Boston, with its 147 hotels, gives you the broadest range of prices and styles, and puts you within easy reach of the city's transport network for getting to Fenway on the day. All three are roughly the same distance from the venue, so choosing between them comes down to how much choice and flexibility you want rather than proximity.

The oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball, Fenway Park is a beloved Boston institution, home to the Red Sox and its famous 'Green Monster' wall, and a characterful host of summer concerts.
