The 2026 Oregon State Beavers football schedule is set, with 12 regular-season games and one bye week as the program enters its first season as a full member of the new-look Pac-12. Head coach Trent Bray’s squad opens the year on the road at Houston on September 5, then welcomes Texas Tech to Reser Stadium on September 12, a stretch that headlines a four-game non-conference slate before Pac-12 play begins at Colorado State on October 3. Game times and TV networks are listed as TBD throughout the schedule and will be filled in as the Pac-12 releases its broadcast windows over the summer.
2026 Oregon State Beavers Football
Trent Bray enters his third full season as Oregon State’s head coach with the Beavers transitioning into the rebuilt Pac-12, which now features eight teams after the 2024 conference realignment. The early portion of the schedule is built around four non-conference games: a road opener at Houston on September 5, a home matchup with Texas Tech on September 12, an FCS visit from Montana on September 19, and a road trip to UTEP on September 26. The Texas Tech game is the marquee non-conference test and a chance for Bray’s team to set the tone before Pac-12 play tips off.
Pac-12 conference play opens at Colorado State on October 3 and runs through the back half of the year. Reser Stadium will host four conference games, including San Diego State on October 10, Washington State on October 17, Texas State on November 7, and Utah State on November 21. The Beavers visit Boise State on November 14 in what should be one of the season’s most-watched matchups. Oregon State’s lone bye comes on October 24, and the schedule closes with a Pac-12 flex weekend on November 28 that is currently projected as a matchup with Washington State.
