DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Another season is on the horizon for Embry-Riddle men's rowing, as the Eagles have announced their 2025-26 schedule. The Blue and Gold are set to compete in 12 events across seven states.

Embry-Riddle opens the year at the First Coast Head Race on Oct. 11 in Jacksonville, marking the program's first appearance at the event. The fall slate wraps up at home on Nov. 8, when the Eagles host the Florida Fall Invite, welcoming Stetson, Jacksonville, and Florida Tech.

The spring campaign begins March 7 with a split-squad day of racing. Two V8 boats will travel to Tampa for a dual with Holy Cross, while a separate V8 and the 1V4 face off against Rollins in Winter Park. A week later, ERAU heads to DeLand to take on Stetson, Jacksonville, and Wesleyan (March 14).

The Eagles make their first out-of-state trip on March 29, sending a V8 to the San Diego Crew Classic to race against Gonzaga, UC San Diego, Cal, Marietta, and others. That same weekend, the remainder of the squad will be in Sarasota for the FIRA Championship.

Following a week of rest, Embry-Riddle begins a stretch of three consecutive road regattas. The Eagles will compete in the Knecht Cup (April 11-12) in Pennsauken, New Jersey, followed by the SIRA Championship (April 18) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The month concludes with the inaugural Hilderbrand Cup Regatta (April 26) in Gainesville, Georgia, against Rollins, Jacksonville, Stetson, Florida Tech, Oklahoma City, and Xavier-Louisiana.

The season closes with two of the sport's most prestigious events. The Eagles return to Philadelphia for the Dad Vail Regatta (May 8-9) before waiting to see if they earn a bid to the IRA Championship in California on May 30.
