Colorado State’s first conference football game in the new Pac-12 will feature a rematch of the inaugural contest at Canvas Stadium, when Oregon State visits Fort Collins for the first time since 2017.
That and the rest of the league slate was released by the Pac-12 late Wednesday, allowing CSU to finalize its 2026 schedule, the first in the conference and first under new head coach Jim Mora.
The 12-game schedule features seven home games for the third consecutive season. The Rams will play four nonconference games — three of them at home — before beginning their eight-team conference run, which will end with a new twist.
“We are excited for the 2026 season and to be a part of the new Pac-12,” Mora said in a news release. “It has always been a prominent and well-respected league and we’re looking forward to building off its rich history. Having seven home games means seven opportunities to play in front of our great fans in Canvas Stadium with an amazing home field advantage.”
CSU will open the season at home against Wyoming on Sept. 5. It will be the earliest Border War game in the 127-year history of the rivalry. The previous earliest battle for the Bronze Boot was in 1982 when the teams played Sept. 11.
That first game will be followed by home games against Southern Utah on Sept. 12 and former WAC rival BYU on Sept. 19. The team’s first road game comes at UTSA on Sept. 26.
Pac-12 play will begin Oct. 3 against the Beavers, ahead of CSU’s only bye week of the season. It will then face Texas State on the road Oct. 17. (The release did point out that game could slide to Oct. 15).
The remainder of the conference slate includes: San Diego State at home on Oct. 24; at Utah State on Oct. 31; at home against Boise State on Nov. 7; at Washington State on Nov. 14; and at Fresno State on Nov. 21.
The final weekend of the regular season will feature a flex weekend, which will be a scheduled home game, but the Pac-12 will retain the right to adjust the matchup based on the best interests of the league, including College Football Playoff considerations at that time. A social media post by the conference suggested CSU could host Texas State in that finale.
The Pac-12 championship game is scheduled for Dec. 4.
