How the 2026 Oregon Football Schedule Sets Up
September opens with a mix of home and road games on the 2026 Oregon football schedule. Boise State at home, a road trip to Oklahoma State, Portland State at home, and a trip to #14 USC. That early stretch mixes manageable home dates with two demanding road contests.
October brings the bye week, UCLA and Nebraska at home, a road game at Illinois, and Northwestern at home. The mid-season home dates help build momentum before the final stretch.
November features a road trip to #1 Ohio State, #16 Michigan at home, a Friday night road game at Michigan State on FOX, and #17 Washington at home. That final stretch will decide seeding for a possible Big Ten Championship appearance.
Home Games at Autzen Stadium
Seven home dates appear on the 2026 Oregon football schedule:
- September 5 vs. Boise State
- September 18 vs. Portland State
- October 10 vs. UCLA
- October 17 vs. Nebraska
- October 31 vs. Northwestern
- November 14 vs. #16 Michigan
- November 28 vs. #17 Washington
The Michigan and Washington games will generate the strongest crowds in Eugene.
The Games That Decide the Season
Three contests stand out on the 2026 Oregon football schedule.
The September 26 road game at #14 USC is an early Big Ten measuring stick. The November 7 trip to #1 Ohio State is a key ranked test. The November 14 home date against #16 Michigan will likely decide late-season momentum.
Win two of those three and the Ducks stay in control of their path toward a possible December 5 Big Ten Championship appearance in Indianapolis.
