Colorado State’s men’s soccer program has unveiled its first ever Pac‑12 conference slate for the 2026 season, a milestone that caps a rapid rise for a team that finished last year at 10‑4‑5 and cracked the national top 25 for the first time in school history.
Opening Match and Early Road Tests
The Rams open Pac‑12 play on October 1 at home against Fresno State, then travel to face Utah State four days later in Fort Collins before heading to San Diego to meet San Diego State on October 11. A home clash with Gonzaga follows on October 8, and the team will host Boise State on October 22.
Mid‑season road trips take the Rams to Texas State on October 16 and Oregon State on October 25, while a later home game against Washington State is slated for October 31. The schedule also includes matches against Utah State, San Diego State, and a return trip to Fresno State later in the month.
Championship Format and Host Considerations
The Pac‑12 championship will feature the top four teams, with semifinals set for November 11 or 12 and the final later that weekend. Hosting duties will be awarded to the conference school with the highest non‑conference RPI, a factor that could benefit Colorado State if they maintain a strong overall record.
The full 2026 schedule will be released later this month, giving fans a chance to plan for what promises to be a historic season for the Rams.
