Concord-Carlisle Hosts Chelmsford in Season Opener

CONCORD, Mass. — High school football kicks off this afternoon as the Concord-Carlisle Patriots welcome the Chelmsford Lions in a non-conference matchup. The game is set for Saturday, August 23, 2025, with kickoff scheduled for 3 p.m. at Concord-Carlisle High School.

Both programs enter the 2025–26 season with a clean slate, as each team looks to build momentum in their opening contest. Last fall, Chelmsford finished with a solid campaign, while Concord-Carlisle aims to climb higher in the competitive Massachusetts standings this year.

According to preseason rankings, Chelmsford sits at No. 47 in the state and No. 6 in its division, while Concord-Carlisle enters at No. 101 in Massachusetts and No. 14 in its division. Though both sides are still searching for their first win of the season, the matchup is expected to set the tone for the weeks ahead.

The Lions and Patriots do not share any common opponents yet this season, but future matchups against Haverhill and Westford Academy later this fall may provide a benchmark for comparison.

Kickoff is at 3 p.m., with fans encouraged to arrive early to catch the opening game-day atmosphere.
