The University of Hawaii’s football program unveiled its 2026 schedule, marking a significant expansion of televised exposure for the Rainbow Warriors. The announcement underscores a strategic push to bring the team’s games to a broader national audience across multiple networks.
A Milestone Broadcast Calendar
In total, seven contests will be carried on national television, representing a notable increase from previous seasons. The schedule kicks off on August 29th with a home game against Stanford, which will air on the ACC Network.
Beyond the opening matchup, the Rainbow Warriors will appear three times on the CW, including a home clash with UNLV, and will also be featured three times on Fox Networks, highlighted by a home game against New Mexico. Additional games are slated for broadcast on MW+, the streaming platform of the Mountain West Conference.
While the network designations for the Fox games and the kickoff times for several contests are still pending, the university has indicated that those details will be announced in the coming weeks. A road trip to Arizona State is also on the horizon, with further information to be released later.
The expanded media footprint reflects the program’s growing ambition and the increasing popularity of college football in the Pacific region. Fans can expect a packed season of high‑profile matchups, with the university promising more updates as the schedule solidifies.
