The BYU Cougars have announced the addition of four future home-and-home football series, rescheduled several future games, and revealed the cancellation of two future series.
These additions and changes come just over one season after BYU left its Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) status to join the Big 12 Conference. That move, along with other realignment in college football, likely contributed to the updates announced on Wednesday.
Below are the details of each of the newly added series, rescheduled games, and canceled series:
HOME-AND-HOME SERIES ADDED
California Golden Bears
BYU will host Cal at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah, on Sept. 12, 2026. The Cougars will then make the return trip to California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, Calif., on Sept. 11, 2027.
Boston College Eagles
BYU will host Boston College in Provo during the 2028 season before traveling to face the Eagles at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Mass., in 2029.
Oregon State Beavers
The Beavers and Cougars will play their first matchup on Sept. 25, 2027, in Provo. BYU will then visit Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Ore., the following season on Sept. 9, 2028.
Colorado State Rams
BYU will travel to face Colorado State at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, Colo., on Sept. 19, 2026. Three seasons later, on Sept. 8, 2029, the Cougars will host the Rams at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
