Weber State University has released its 2026 football schedule, confirming a 12‑game regular season that begins on the road with a matchup at Northern Colorado on August 28.
All twelve contests will be streamed live on ESPN+, the subscription service that has secured the broadcast rights for the entire slate.
Home games scheduled for September are slated to start at 6 p.m., while the remaining home contests will kick off at 1 p.m., giving fans a mix of evening and afternoon options.
The Wildcats will feature five night games and seven afternoon games, a balance that reflects the program’s effort to accommodate both student‑athlete schedules and local fan preferences.
Regional Matchups and Geographic Spread
Nine of the twelve games will be played within Utah or Colorado, keeping the team largely in the Mountain Time Zone, with a single trip to Cal Poly in California on October 3.
The season opener at Northern Colorado marks the first game of the year for any Big Sky Conference team, positioning Weber State as the league’s early‑season catalyst.
A nonconference showdown at Southern Utah on September 5 will be preceded by a tailgate organized by the Weber State Alumni Association, offering a catered meal and parking for $12 per person; discounted tickets can be secured with the code WSUALUMNI.
Eric Kjar, a senior linebacker, has been highlighted as one of the team’s key returners as the roster prepares for the upcoming campaign.
