A Revamped Nonconference Slate
Oregon’s football program has reshaped its 2027 nonconference schedule following the abrupt end of its home‑and‑home series with Baylor. The Ducks will open the season on Sept. 2 against North Dakota State, then travel to face Sacramento State at Autzen Stadium on Sept. 9, 2028, a game that was added after the Baylor series was canceled.
Rivalry Renewed
The renewed rivalry with Oregon State promises heightened intensity, as both programs vie for bragging rights within the state. The September 16 showdown will be the first of a series that extends through the early 2030s, underscoring the commitment to sustain the tradition.
Meanwhile, the season opener against North Dakota State offers a fresh challenge for Oregon’s offense and defense, with the Bison entering the game as a formidable non‑conference opponent.
Looking Ahead
Fans can expect a packed Autzen Stadium atmosphere as the Ducks host Sacramento State, while the subsequent games against Oregon State and the Bison will test the team’s depth and adaptability. The schedule’s staggered release reflects careful planning by the athletic department to maximize exposure and competitive integrity.
