The season begins with back-to-back road games, including the earliest Patriot League opener in nearly two decades. The Mountain Hawks will open the 2022 season at Villanova on Sept. 3. Lehigh will open against Villanova for the fifth time (1919, 2007, 2017, 2021). On Sept. 10, the Mountain Hawks will open Patriot League play with a visit to Georgetown. With the exception of the spring 2021 campaign that was limited to Patriot League opponents only, it will mark the earliest Patriot League opener for Lehigh since 2003 when the Mountain Hawks opened their season with back-to-back home games against Holy Cross and Fordham.
 
Lehigh's home opener is set for Sept. 17 with Richmond set to make its first ever visit to Goodman Stadium. The Mountain Hawks traveled to Richmond for the 1998 NCAA playoffs and returned last September.
 
The Mountain Hawks will face two Ivy League opponents in 2022, both on the road, with Lehigh visiting Princeton on Sept. 24 and Cornell Oct. 15.
 
In between the Ivy road trips are a pair of back-to-back home games. Lehigh will open October by hosting Monmouth on Saturday Oct. 1. The Hawks are moving to the Colonial Athletic Association this season after establishing themselves as one of the top football programs in the Big South. Lehigh's Patriot League home opener is a week later (Oct. 8) against Fordham.
 
Lehigh's visit to Cornell is followed by a home game against Bucknell on Oct. 22. The Mountain Hawks will have their bye week on Oct. 29 and will return from the bye with a visit to Holy Cross on Nov. 5.
 
The final home game of the regular season is set for Nov. 12, when Lehigh hosts Colgate. The Mountain Hawks will close out the regular season on Nov. 19 when they travel to Lafayette for the 158th meeting of college football's most-played rivalry.
 
Promotional information for Lehigh's five home games will be announced at a later date.
 
Lehigh returns three of its four All-Patriot League honorees from 2021 in safety TyGee Leach, defensive lineman Mikhari Sibblis and cornerback LaTreil Wimberly.
 
The Mountain Hawks will begin their spring practice segment on Thursday, March 24 and will hold the annual Brown and White Spring Game, Saturday, April 23 at Goodman Stadium.
