Which Abilene Christian Wildcats games are worth watching in 2026?
The Wildcats open with a solid non-conference slate. The trip to Texas Tech provides another opportunity to challenge an FBS opponent, while games against Stephen F. Austin, Idaho, and perennial FCS contender Mercer should offer valuable playoff-level tests before conference play begins. The Oct. 3 meeting with West Florida is also notable as one of the Argonauts' first seasons competing in the UAC.
Conference play features several of the league's biggest matchups. Homecoming against West Georgia, the road rivalry at Tarleton State, and the regular-season finale versus Eastern Kentucky could all have major implications in the UAC title race and FCS playoff seeding. The Oct. 24 bye week arrives at an ideal point before the final four-game conference stretch.
