Haddonfield vs. Haddon Heights on Thanksgiving 2026: Kickoff Time, Location and the Rivalry by the Numbers

Haddonfield football plays its last game of 2026 on Thanksgiving morning. The Bulldawgs face Haddon Heights at 11 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 26. Two schedules list it as a home game at Haddonfield and one lists it at Heights, so check before you park. Seniors get one more Friday night feeling, just on a Thursday morning.

When is it?

Kickoff: 11 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 26. That time is on NJ.com's Haddonfield schedule and in the Courier-Post's South Jersey schedule. When we wrote our Thanksgiving closures guide on Nov. 8, no time was posted. Now it is.

Plan backward from 11. Turkey in at 9, kickoff at 11, home by early afternoon. It's doable.

Where is it?

This is the part to double check.

• NJ.com lists the game as "vs Haddon Heights," a Haddonfield home game.
• New Jersey Prep Football lists the location as Haddonfield.
• The Courier-Post's season schedule, posted in August, lists "Haddonfield at Haddon Heights."

Two of three say Haddonfield. The newspaper notes that times and dates are subject to change. Until the school posts it, confirm on the HMHS athletics page before Thanksgiving morning.

How the Bulldawgs got here

Haddonfield is 7-3 under head coach Frank DeLano, per NJ.com. The season started 4-0 with wins over Overbrook, Seneca, Delsea and Delran. Losses came at West Deptford, 28-0, and at Paulsboro, 24-21. After a 41-14 win at Paul VI, No. 2 seed Haddonfield beat Johnson 27-25 in the South Jersey Group 2 quarterfinal.

Then came the one that hurt. No. 3 Camden Eastside won 13-12 at Haddonfield on Nov. 6, ending the title defense. Dan Keenan scored both Haddonfield touchdowns. Our semifinal recap has the details.

So this game isn't for a trophy. It's for the seniors, the alumni in the stands and a year of bragging rights.

The rivalry, by the numbers

New Jersey Prep Football's series page lists 21 meetings going back to 2004, with Haddonfield winning 19. A few recent ones from that page:

• 2025: Haddonfield 25, Haddon Heights 7
• 2024: Haddonfield 23, Haddon Heights 20
• 2023: Haddonfield 31, Haddon Heights 7
• 2022: Haddonfield 45, Haddon Heights 18
• 2021: Haddon Heights 36, Haddonfield 13

Heights' other win on that list came in 2012, 14-7. The 2024 game was a three-point finish, so don't assume a blowout.

Before you go

Bring cash in case the gate or concessions don't take cards. Dress for a cold morning in the stands. And give yourself time to park, since Thanksgiving games draw families home for the holiday.
