Despite the end of World War II and return of its longtime coach from military service in 1945, Harvard continued to designate its football program "informal" that year. The 1946 season thus represented the return of "major" college football to Harvard for the first time since fall 1942.

Harvard was ranked at No. 46 in the final Litkenhous Difference by Score System rankings for 1946.

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