The 2025 Mountain West football schedule has been announced. Conference play begins on Saturday, Sept. 13 with Air Force at Utah State.

For the 2025 season, the Mountain West returns to an eight-game conference schedule following a one-year scheduling alliance with Oregon State and Washington State that was not extended. Each Mountain West team will play eight conference games with four non-conference contests.

Featured non-conference match-ups for each MWC team in 2025 include Air Force at Navy, Boise State at Notre Dame, Colorado State at Washington, Fresno State at Kansas, Stanford at Hawaii, Nevada at Penn State, New Mexico at Michigan, California at San Diego State, San Jose State at Texas, UCLA at UNLV, Utah State at Texas A&M, and Wyoming at Colorado.

The 2025 Mountain West Championship Game will be played on Friday, Dec. 5. The contest will feature the top two seeds in Mountain West play and will be hosted by the highest ranked team.

Additional releases from the Mountain West will come this Spring, which will shift certain games to Thursdays and Fridays.

Boise State Broncos will be My favorite this year.

Northern Illinois Huskies will be My favorite following year however Boise State will be My favorite in revised Pac 12.

And possibly Tru/TNT? All article references to the deal note it as a “Multi-Year” deal but have not specified how many years exactly.

Air Force has an interesting schedule because they have zero non-conference game in September.
1 in August, 1 in October, and 2 in November.
They might be the only non-independent with that schedule quirk.

Navy has a similar schedule:
– 1 August (VMI)
– 1 October (AFA)
– 1 November (Notre Dame)
-1 December (Army) technically counted as an OOC game

Terrence Shields, Dan Rakow, Reverend Winton Dupree, Evan, Keeper,

Anyone besides me have a prediction about what Bronco Mendenhall’s 2025 UT State Aggies record will be?

63 Grants in Aid Programs do not count in this tally only 85 Grants in Aid Programs.

I predict a 5 Win 6 Loss season.

Given the amount of 1st and 2nd season coaches now in the MW, the conference rankings may completely reverse order from preseason media poll, save maybe Boise St.

That being said Utah St might have a ceiling of 9 wins and floor of 3. Their offense turned around toward the end of the season but the defense remained anaemic. By most experts their recruiting class was top 5 in the MW and Bronco brought a handful of athletes from UNM but lost out on Devon Dampier. Things may change post the spring portal but in any event the final season of the MW as it stands should be very entertaining and unpredictable.

It’s also nice to see the Mountain West schedule rivalry games for Thanksgiving Weekend. 4 out of the 6 matchups are rivalries.
