The1896 Geneva Covenanters football team was anAmerican football team that representedGeneva College as an independent during the1896 college football season.William McCracken was in his seventh and final year as head coach. Geneva's football record book claims a record of 3–4.

Geneva's records omit one of three games played in 1896 against the local Nonpareil Athletic Club. According toThe Pittsburgh Post, the second of the three games (on October 24) was an unscheduled exhibition played "just for the fun of the thing", with neither team fielding its best lineup, in advance of a "real game" between the two teams on November 3.[1] However, Geneva lists an 8–0 loss and a 12–0 win against Nonpareil, which match the scores of the second and third games.[2]

Geneva also excludes from its records an unplayed game against the Western University of Pennsylvania (WUP, later theUniversity of Pittsburgh) on November 14. According toThe Pittsburgh Press, the referee awarded the game to the WUP 6–0 after Geneva refused to play against WUP's allegedly professional player-coach,George W. Hoskins.[3] The University of Pittsburgh counts the game as a 6–0 forfeit win.[4]
