The 2026 football season is around the corner, and you can now finalize your plans for the first three games of the season for the Oregon Ducks.
The three non-conference games to begin Oregon's season have officially been given kickoff times and television designations. The Ducks will begin the season in Autzen Stadium against new Pac-12 power Boise State, before traveling down to Stillwater to face Oklahoma State in Week 2. The Ducks will wrap up their non-conference slate in Eugene against Portland State the following week.
The Ducks also received news on a kickoff time for one Big Ten matchup. Oregon will host Northwestern on Halloween, but likely during the day.
Here is the latest information on how to watch Oregon football next season.
Boise State at Oregon
Date: Saturday, September 5
Kickoff: 12:30 p.m. PT
TV: CBS
The Ducks and Broncos haven't faced off since 2024, when both programs made it to the College Football Playoff. The early-season clash came down to the wire, and a 25-yard field goal by Atticus Sappington as time expired gave Oregon the win en route to an undefeated regular season.
Oregon at Oklahoma State
Date: Saturday, September 12
Kickoff: 9 a.m. PT
TV: ESPN
Oregon had some extra motivation going into last season's matchup, thanks to then Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy. The Ducks squashed the Cowboys in Autzen Stadium, 69-3, as Dante Moore tossed three touchdowns. The Cowboys are expected to be greatly improved under new head coach Eric Morris and North Texas transfer quarterback Drew Mestemaker.
Portland State at Oregon
Date: Friday, September 18
Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. PT
TV: Big Ten Network
The Ducks and Vikings have not met since the season-opener in Eugene back in 2023. Bo Nix ignited his Heisman campaign as Oregon scored an 81-7 victory, setting a modern program record for points in a game. Oregon will renew the series with its in-state foes under the lights in Autzen Stadium.
Northwestern at Oregon
Date: Saturday, October 31
Kickoff: TBD; No later than 5 p.m. PT
TV: TBD
Oregon played at Northwestern's temporary stadium last season, earning a 34-14 win. This time, the Ducks will host the Wildcats on Halloween for what is likely to be an afternoon kickoff. Before Oregon fans go out trick-or-treating, they can root on the Ducks against Northwestern offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and former Oregon State and Michigan State quarterback Aidan Chiles.
