Which Butler Bulldogs games are worth watching in 2026?
The September 5 road trip to Montana State — the reigning FCS national champion — for the annual "Gold Rush" game is easily the season's most notable test, a rematch of Butler's 2023 visit to Bozeman. The September 26 PFL opener at Valparaiso renews the "Battle for the Hoosier Helmet" in-state rivalry.
Butler closes the regular season at home against Morehead State on November 21, capping a schedule that includes four non-conference games and a full eight-game Pioneer Football League slate.
