2026 Colorado State football schedule

Here's what we know right now about the schedule for Mora's first season leading the Rams. How about a Border War for Mora's first game??

• Sept. 5: Wyoming at CSU

• Sept. 12: Southern Utah at CSU

• Sept. 19: BYU at CSU

• Sept. 26: CSU at UTSA

Those are the known dates for games right now. We also know CSU will play a Pac-12 schedule, facing each team at least once. That means games against: Boise State, Fresno State, Utah State, San Diego State, Texas State, Washington State and Oregon State. Who the Rams will face home or road is not known yet.

That also leaves room for one more regular season game, which could be another nonconference game added or a home-and-home with one of the other Pac-12 teams.
