How this guide works

Scores, kickoff times and TV come from the ECU Athletics schedule and are cross-checked against ESPN after every game. Gameday rules come from ECU’s 2026 game day guide; history comes from public records linked on each page. ECU Football Guide is an independent fan site. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by East Carolina University, ECU Athletics, the Pirate Club or the American Conference. Team names are used only to describe games; no school logos or artwork are used.
