Beyond 2028
Looking past 2028, Fresno State has non-conference games already booked including a return trip to Stanford and another San Jose State meeting in 2029, road-and-home dates with Texas Tech and a home game against Kansas around 2030, and UCLA’s first-ever visit to Fresno in 2032.
How Fresno State Bulldogs’s Schedule Works
Fresno State builds its schedule around nine Pac-12 conference games each fall plus a handful of non-conference dates that are contracted years ahead, often as home-and-home series with Power Four programs or as buy games and in-state matchups. The Bulldogs preserve the Valley Trophy rivalry with San Jose State as a non-conference fixture even though the two schools now sit in different leagues. Because the rebuilt Pac-12 sets its round-robin conference pairings closer to each season, future years show only the confirmed non-conference games until the league slate is released.
