SAN RAMON, California – Pac-12 After Dark is back with the release of the 2026 football conference schedule, as announced by the league office Wednesday night. The slate features a seven-game league round robin and week 13 home-and-home flex matchup to round out the 12-game schedule including a packed non-conference schedule at UFCU Stadium.
In its inaugural season in the Pac-12, the Bobcats will host Colorado State, Utah State, Fresno State and Washington State, while traveling to San Diego State, Boise State and Oregon State. The remaining game is currently set as a flex, non-conference contest against a Pac-12 opponent.
