Roundup: Weber State football, basketball schedules affected by realignment

February 13, 2026 - 18:30

The landscape of college sports continues to evolve, and Weber State University's athletic programs are navigating the resulting changes. Future schedules for both Wildcat football and basketball are being directly affected by the widespread conference realignment sweeping the NCAA.

The ripple effects extend beyond Weber State's Big Sky Conference. Notably, Utah State University has publicly released its inaugural Pac-12 Conference football schedule, set for the 2026 season. This move is part of a larger shift that sees several outgoing Mountain West teams forming a new coalition.

These conference migrations create a complex domino effect for scheduling across the region. Non-conference agreements, long-standing rivalries, and future season slates for schools like Weber State must now be re-evaluated and adjusted. Athletic directors are working to secure new opponents and finalize calendars in this unstable environment, ensuring their teams remain competitive. The full impact on specific games and seasons for the Wildcats will become clearer as the new conference structures solidify in the coming months.
