Aztecs Unveil 2026 Football Schedule: A New Era in the Pac-12 Begins

The San Diego State Aztecs are officially on the clock for their Pac-12 debut, and the 2026 schedule has arrived with plenty of intrigue. Released jointly by the conference and the program on Wednesday night, this slate marks the start of a bold new era for SDSU under head coach Sean Lewis as the team transitions from the Mountain West to the revamped eight-team Pac-12. 
Featuring four non-conference games to open the year, a full seven-game round-robin league schedule, a timely bye, and a groundbreaking flex matchup to close the regular season, the calendar sets up exciting opportunities for road adventures, rivalry renewals, and potential postseason pushes.
The non-conference portion kicks off with a home opener against Portland State on September 5 at Snapdragon Stadium—a familiar FCS opponent the Aztecs crushed 52-17 back in 2007. The real test comes early with a September 12 road trip to UCLA in the Rose Bowl, where SDSU holds a memorable 23-14 upset win from 2019 but fell 35-10 in their most recent clash. Back home on September 19, the Aztecs welcome James Madison in the first-ever meeting between the programs; the Dukes were a 12-2 Sun Belt powerhouse in 2025, reaching the CFP before a loss to Oregon in the first round. The non-league slate wraps September 26 at Toledo, avenging a close 2022 win in San Diego against a Rockets team that's posted 16 straight .500-or-better seasons.

Women's Football: San Diego Rebellion Unveils 2026 Schedule

The San Diego Rebellion have dropped their 2026 season schedule, and fans have plenty to be excited about as the team gears up for another championship push in the Women's National Football Conference. The 2026 campaign will mark their 8th season of football and their 7th as members of the WNFC. Last season the Rebellion finished 7-1 with the lone loss coming in the Conference Final against the eventual champion Texas Elite Spartans.

The season kicks off in the Bay Area with a brand-new challenge against the expansion Golden State Storm, who will be hosting their first-ever game. A return match at home is scheduled for Week 5. Following that, San Diego returns home to take on the Los Angeles Legends. They lead the all-time series 6-0, including a shutout and a playoff win last season. Week 3 sees the team back on the road against the Las Vegas Silver Stars, another opponent the Rebellion have never lost to, holding a 7-0 series lead.

After a bye week, the schedule ramps up significantly. The Week 6 matchup is the headline event of the regular season, as the Rebellion heads to the Midwest to face the Kansas City Glory, a perennial playoff contender. This first-ever meeting will have heavy playoff implications heading into the final week. The regular season then concludes with what should be a highly competitive home outing against the Utah Falconz. San Diego opened last season with a 40-6 win over the Falconz to take a 4-3 advantage in the series.
