Boise State University’s soccer program is set to begin its inaugural Pac‑12 campaign in the fall of 2026, marking a historic shift from the Mountain West to the nation’s premier western conference.
A new chapter for Boise State soccer
The Broncos will open their conference slate on October 1, 2026, traveling to San Diego State for a road contest that will test their early‑season readiness.
A week later, on October 4, Boise State will host Gonzaga, a perennial powerhouse, at home, offering fans a first‑look at the team’s chemistry against a top‑10 opponent.
The schedule also features a home matchup against Utah State on October 11, the 2025 Mountain West Tournament champions, followed by a visit from Oregon State on October 17, adding depth to the non‑conference slate.
Beyond the conference games, Boise State will embark on a ten‑match non‑conference road trip that includes stops in Fresno State, Colorado State, Texas State and Texas‑Lubbock, before returning home for the regular‑season finale against Washington State on November 5.
The Pac‑12 Championship is slated to begin on November 11, with the top four teams advancing. The championship venue will be determined by the school with the highest non‑conference RPI, giving Boise State a potential pathway to host if the metrics align.
Athletic director Jim Thomas highlighted the strategic importance of the schedule, noting that the blend of home and away fixtures is designed to accelerate the program’s growth and attract national attention.
