BRISTOL, Conn. -- The Ivy League has announced that the 2019 Ivy League Football Media Day will take place on Thursday, August 15, at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn., as a special session in conjunction with the yearlong celebration of college football’s 150th anniversary (CFB150). 
 
The event will begin at 10 a.m. and will feature media availability from each of the League’s head coaches, as well as two student-athletes from each Ivy League program. Special topics will be discussed throughout the day, including ESPN and the Ivy League’s respective plans surrounding CFB150 and ESPN+, the subscription platform that is home to more than 1,100 Ivy League events annually. 
 
A list of student-athlete attendees and a more detailed schedule, including guest speakers and additional programming, will be made available prior to the event. Media registration is now open, with an RSVP deadline of August 1. 

The Ivy League’s preseason media poll will be announced a week prior to the 2019 Ivy League Football Media Day, at 10 a.m. on Thursday, August 8. 
 
The Ivy League is coming off a 2018 season highlighted by Princeton’s unbeaten campaign—the 13th in League history—en route to its first outright League crown since 1995. The League also led the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) in non-conference winning percentage (.750) and NFL representation (24 players) for the second-straight season. 
 
At least six Ivy League football games will air on ESPN linear networks in each year of the 10-year agreement between the Ivy League and ESPN, including the historic Harvard-Yale game. The Ivy League’s linear television schedule for the 2019 football season will be announced at 10 a.m. on Monday, June 24. 

The 2019-20 athletic year will be the second year of the comprehensive deal, that includes every conference-controlled football game and over 1,100 events annually.
