Utah State's inaugural Pac-12 season is set to begin in 2026, marking a significant shift for the Aggies. The conference's new structure, with eight teams, will feature a unique scheduling policy. Each team will play a round-robin seven-game schedule within the Pac-12, with an additional non-conference game, bringing the total to eight. This format ensures a balanced and competitive season, with each team facing every other opponent at least once. The Aggies will take on Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Texas State, as well as Oregon State and Washington State, in a home-and-away format. The Pac-12's 'flex' scheduling policy adds an extra layer of intrigue, allowing for a dynamic and unpredictable season. Each team will play one opponent twice, with the second game's location alternating between home and away. For Utah State, this means their Nov. 28 flex game will be determined just six days before kickoff, keeping the excitement high. The Aggies' schedule includes non-conference home games against Idaho State and Troy, with road trips to Washington and Utah. The regular season will culminate in the Pac-12 Championship Game on December 4th, with the location and broadcast details yet to be finalized. The conference's new era promises an exciting and competitive football landscape, with national coverage across CBS Sports, USA Network, and The CW, ensuring a wide audience for the Aggies' journey.
