For 1943, and again in 1944, rather than scheduling its usual mix of Ivy League opponents and national college football powerhouses, Harvard played a shorter schedule of smaller New England colleges and military teams. Its football record book describes these two World War II-era seasons as "informal".

In the final Litkenhous Ratings, Harvard ranked 188th among the nation's college and service teams with a rating of 41.9.

Harvard played its home games at Harvard Stadium in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.
