Practice began on July 29 at Stott Community Field, with a new coaching staff, a large influx of players and a schedule that includes new conference opponents.

The Vikings open the 2026 season at home against Oregon, then tackle a rugged schedule that includes road tests against UNLV, California Baptist and San Diego State, before diving into Big Sky play.
