🔼 Schedule Reveal. Boise State football's 2026 football schedule is here, and it features four nonconference games, seven Pac-12 conference matchups, and one nonconference flex game against a Pac-12 opponent, with the season opening Sept. 5 at Oregon (the Broncos are 3-1 all-time against the Ducks). The Broncos will host their home opener against Memphis on Sept. 12 in the Tigers' first-ever visit to Albertsons Stadium, followed by South Dakota on Sept. 19, before traveling to Western Michigan on Sept. 26 for the first meeting between the programs.

Boise State's first Pac-12 game comes Oct. 3 when Utah State visits The Blue, and the regular season concludes Nov. 28 with a flex opponent (Colorado State, Fresno State, Utah State, or Washington State) to be determined six days prior to kickoff, with the Pac-12 Championship scheduled for Dec. 4.

🔼 Road Battle. Boise State women’s hoops (19-6, 10-4 Mountain West) fell 75-69 to Fresno State on Wednesday night in Fresno, losing for the first time since Jan. 3 and ending their nine-game conference win streak, the program's longest single-season conference run since 2007-08. Natalie Pasco led the Broncos with 19 points and four three-pointers, tying her for second all-time in program history with 260 career triples alongside Abby Vaughan, while also moving into seventh in program history with 534 career field goals made. Senior forward Tatum Thompson added 16 points, nine rebounds, and four assists, and guard Dani Bayes contributed 15 points and three assists.

🔼 Bringing Fun to the Game. Boise State women’s basketball’s Mya Hansen joins Bronco Studios Live to talk about what’s been driving her team’s success over the last few months of the season, and why this team puts each other first above all else.

🔼 Tourney Time. Boise State (4-2) travels to Southern California to compete in a tournament co-hosted by UC San Diego and San Diego, facing Weber State, FDU, Southern Utah (twice), and Omaha from Feb. 13-15. The Broncos are coming off a strong showing at the Easton Classic that included a program-record 3-2 victory over then-No. 14 Mississippi and a 4-1 win in eight innings against defending Big West champion Cal State Fullerton. Full preview here.

🔼 Honor Roll. Boise State placed 97 student-athletes on the 2025 Fall Mountain West Academic All-Conference team, led by football with 43 honorees followed by women's soccer (20), women's cross country (14), men's cross country (10), and volleyball (10). Ten Broncos achieved a perfect 4.0 cumulative GPA, while the department recorded its second-best single-semester GPA in history at 3.38 and tied the all-time high cumulative GPA at 3.42 during the fall semester.

🔼 Block Party. Boise State beach volleyball’s Allyson Alden has launched "Allyson Alden's Block Party," asking donors to pledge a dollar amount for every ace or block she records during the 2026 season, with proceeds benefiting BroncoBOLD's High School Ambassador Program serving 16 Southern Idaho schools and 22,000 students.

🔼 Record Book. Boise State track & field’s Priscilla Adu-Gyamfi wasted no time making history as a freshman, recording the fifth-fastest 200-meter dash in the program's all-time rankings!
