The Oregon Ducks have unveiled the kickoff times and television partners for the opening stretch of their 2026 football campaign, setting the stage for a busy non‑conference slate.
The season will open at home against Boise State at Autzen Stadium on September 5, with a 12:30 p.m. PT start that will be carried live on CBS.
A week later the Ducks travel to Stillwater, Oklahoma, to meet Oklahoma State in a 9 a.m. PT kickoff that will air on ESPN.
The third non‑conference test comes on September 18, when Portland State visits Eugene for a 7:30 p.m. PT night game broadcast on the Big Ten Network.
Recent history adds intrigue
The Ducks’ previous encounter with Boise State ended in a dramatic finish last year, when Atticus Sappington’s last‑second field goal secured a narrow victory.
A dominant performance against Oklahoma State in the prior season saw quarterback Dante Moore connect for three touchdowns in a 69‑3 rout.
Oregon also set a modern program record with an 81‑7 triumph over Portland State in 2023, while a 34‑14 win over Northwestern last year was achieved on the Wildcats’ temporary home field.
Looking ahead, the schedule promises early tests that could shape the Ducks’ momentum as they prepare for Pac‑12 play, with each kickoff time and broadcast slot carefully positioned to maximize exposure.
