COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The University of Hawai'i football team's conference matchups for the 2026 season were announced after the Mountain West released the home and away designations for the league's 12 teams.
 
The Rainbow Warriors will host Air Force, New Mexico, San Jose State, and UNLV at the Clarence T.C. Ching Complex while travelling to Nevada, NIU, UTEP, and Wyoming to complete their eight-game conference slate. Dates and kickoff times for these matchups will be released at a later date.
 
The Mountain West welcomes two new additions, NIU and UTEP in 2026. UH and NIU have never met on the football field. Hawai'i and UTEP were longtime rivals in the Western Athletic Conference where UH holds an 18-13 series advantage. The teams last met in 2004.
 
Hawai'i's 12-game schedule includes six home games and six road games. UH's previously announced non-conference slate includes home games against New Mexico State (Sept. 12), and Massachusetts (Nov. 28) and road games at Stanford (Aug. 29) and Arizona State (Sept. 19).
