Which Colorado Buffaloes games are worth watching in 2026?
Colorado opens with an intriguing Thursday night matchup at Georgia Tech, giving Deion Sanders' team an immediate national spotlight. The September trip to Northwestern is another notable non-conference test before the Buffaloes begin Big 12 play at Baylor. Homecoming against Texas Tech and Family Weekend versus Utah headline the first half of the conference schedule.
The race for the Big 12 title could intensify during the season's final month. Colorado hosts Kansas State, plays difficult road games at Arizona State and Cincinnati, and welcomes Houston for a rare Friday night ESPN showcase before closing the regular season against UCF in Boulder. If the Buffaloes remain in contention, several of those November matchups could have major conference championship implications.
