FBS College Football Teams with Non-Conference Openings in 2026
A look at the FBS college football teams with non-conference openings in 2026, which includes teams from every conference.
Most Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) college football teams have their non-conference schedules set for the 2026 season, but over 35 still need at least one game or have not revealed their final opponents.
Conference realignment continues to throw a wrench into future football scheduling.
- Next season, nine FBS teams are slated to change conferences, which includes five Mountain West programs — Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Utah State — and one Sun Belt team — Texas State — joining the rebuilding Pac-12.
- Those moves will bring the Pac-12 up to eight teams next season, which also makes a seven-game conference schedule very likely.
- That would mean each league team would need five non-conference games.
Author's summary: FBS teams seek non-conference games.
