Boise State head coach Spencer Danielson has signed a new contract with the university through the 2030 season, solidifying his commitment to the team. The Pac-12 Conference has announced its 2026 national television package, confirming the kickoff dates, times, and broadcast networks for nearly all of Boise State's games. Fans who prefer Saturday games and dislike nighttime kickoffs will be pleased to know that the Broncos are scheduled to play all 12 of their regular season games on Saturdays, with 10 of those games officially locked in. The Pac-12 championship game, should Boise State make it, is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 4, at 6 p.m. Mountain time. Ten of Boise State's games have kickoff times set, with six of those in the afternoon. The only two games without a time yet are the Broncos' trip to Western Michigan on Sept. 26, which is outside of the Pac-12's control, and the Pac-12 flex game on Nov. 28, which is Thanksgiving week. The flex game will see Boise State face one of four teams for a second time: Colorado State, Fresno State, Utah State, or Washington State. The conference will announce the flex matchups at least six days before the scheduled date, and the decision will come down to what pairing gives the conference the best chance of earning a College Football Playoff berth. The Broncos will play five of their games on USA Network, two on CBS Sports Network, and two on The CW. The season-opening game at Oregon will air on CBS and will kick off at 1:30 p.m. Mountain time. There are four games set for 4 p.m. starts, and one at 5:30 p.m. The Pac-12 Championship game will air on CBS and Paramount.
