BRONX, N.Y. -  The Fordham University Rams continue the 2026 season, Fordham's 126th varsity season, by traveling to Fargo, N.D., to take on the North Dakota State University Bison in the Fargodome on Saturday, September 5, at 3:30 p.m. (EST)
 
The game will be streamed live on the Mountain West App with Dom Izzo (p-b-p) and Kyle Emanuel
(analyst) announcing and broadcast live on WFUV (90.7 FM) and the WFUV YouTube channel with Tucker Austin (p-b-p) and Max Langer (analyst) handling the announcing chores.
 
Fordham enters the game after a 24-14 season-opening Patriot League loss to Colgate on August 28 at Moglia Stadium while North Dakota State won its first game at the FBS level, defeating Jacksonville State, 33-7, at the Fargodome last Saturday.
