Which Idaho Vandals games are worth watching in 2026?
The season opens with two nationally televised tests: a Friday night trip to Cal Poly on ESPN, followed by a marquee road matchup at Utah on ESPNU just days later. The October 2 home date against Montana State — the reigning national champion — is a Friday night showcase on ESPN and easily the biggest home game of the year.
The regular season closes with the "Potato State Trophy" rivalry game at Idaho State on November 21, a fitting finish after a home stretch that includes Eastern Washington's Family Weekend visit and a matchup with UC Davis.
