This is the second matchup between the teams, and in the first game, Rhode Island dominated Campbell, never trailing and winning 21-9.

The Rams would go on to win the CAA and have a historic 11-win season, falling in the second round of the FCS Playoffs to Mercer, finishing the 2024 season with an 11-3 record. The Fighting Camels had less success in 2024, winning just three games in head coach Braxton Harris's first season. 

Campbell won its program's first ever game over a ranked opponent last season when the Camels defeated then-No.17 Western Carolina.

Could the opening week game bring Campbell's second-ever ranked win? 

Here's how to watch Campbell and Rhode Island.
