College Football Schedule

About the College Football schedule

Here is the 2026 college football schedule for all of FBS, from the late-August openers to the bowls and the Playoff. Games are organized by week, and each one shows where it is played, when it kicks off in US Eastern time and, once it is over, the final score.

The schedule follows all 138 FBS teams. The regular season runs from August 29 to December 12, and bowl and Playoff games then fill the calendar from mid-December until the national title game on January 25, 2027, in Las Vegas.
