How the 2026 Arizona State Football Schedule Sets Up
September opens with a home game, a ranked road test, and an international matchup on the 2026 Arizona State Sun Devils football schedule. Morgan State at home, a trip to #8 Texas A&M on ABC, and the Union Jack Classic against Kansas at Wembley Stadium in London. That early stretch gives the Sun Devils a unique neutral-site experience.
October brings Baylor and Hawaii at home, a road trip to #12 Texas Tech, Kansas State at home, and a road game at #14 BYU. The consecutive ranked road tests will define the middle of the season.
November features Colorado at home, a road trip to UCF, Oklahoma State at home, and the Duel in the Desert at Arizona. That final stretch will decide seeding for a possible Big 12 Championship appearance.
Home Games at Mountain America Stadium
Six home dates appear on the 2026 Arizona State football schedule:
- September 5 vs. Morgan State
- October 3 vs. Baylor
- October 10 vs. Hawaii
- October 24 vs. Kansas State
- November 7 vs. Colorado
- November 21 vs. Oklahoma State
The Kansas State and Colorado games will generate the strongest crowds in Tempe.
The Games That Decide the Season
Three contests stand out on the 2026 Arizona State football schedule.
The September 12 road game at #8 Texas A&M is an early measuring stick. The October 17–31 stretch at #12 Texas Tech and #14 BYU is the toughest ranked gauntlet. The November 28 Duel in the Desert at Arizona always carries extra weight.
Win two of those three and the Sun Devils stay in control of their path toward a possible December 4 Big 12 Championship appearance in Arlington.
