Colorado football schedule: Is Colorado playing today in Week 0

Will the Colorado Buffaloes be on the field today in Week 0 of the college football season?

Unfortunately for Buff Nation, they will have to wait a few more days before Colorado's season kicks off. CU begins its 2026 season on Thursday, Sept. 3, in Atlanta against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.

Colorado will unveil a nearly entirely refreshed starting lineup, which could include a new starter at every defensive position. Aside from the roster itself, Deion Sanders revamped his coaching staff with two new coordinators, highlighted by Go-Go offense inventor Brennan Marion, a former head coach at Sacramento State.

Marion and his defensive counterpart, Chris Marve, are true leaders, which has been evident throughout fall camp. Both have set their unit's identity heading into Week 1 against Georgia Tech.

While it is a bummer that there is now Colorado football in Week 0, CU fans can tune into the opening weekend of college football stress-free.
