Season Preview

What Does the Champs' 2026 Slate Actually Ask of Them?

The title defense opens on the road in St. George before six home dates anchor the year — and the Brawl of the Wild waits at the very end.

Schedule

Gold Rush is Sep 5 vs Butler — the home opener in Bozeman

The stadium tradition lands in week two, 6:30 PM at Bobcat Stadium. Wear gold.

Big Sky

Nine conference games, six road trips

Twelve games, split six home and six away. Nine of them are Big Sky opponents — a heavier conference load than the non-conference slate suggests.

Kickoff Times

All twelve kickoff times are now set

Times are posted on the schedule above in Mountain Time. Note the Idaho game is a Friday night, Oct 2 — the only non-Saturday date on the card.

Championship Recap

35–34: the night Bozeman turned gold in Nashville

The final drive, the field rush, and the board that said it all. Photos in the gallery below.
