(STATS) - Ivy League co-champ Harvard announced its 2016 schedule Monday, which features five matchups at home and the 133rd playing of "The Game" against Yale.

Harvard went 9-1 and earned a share of its third straight Ivy title this past season.

The Crimson will host Rhode Island (Sept. 16) and Georgetown (Sept. 30) in non-league games. Within the Ivy League, Cornell (Oct. 8) and Columbia (Nov. 5) visit Harvard Stadium before Yale arrives Nov. 19 for the annual season-ending matchup. The Crimson have defeated their archrival a series-record nine straight times.

In October, coach Tim Murphy's squad will play three straight road games for the first time in the Ivy League era (since 1956).
