Which Kansas State Wildcats football games are worth watching in 2026?
Kansas State opens the season with an intriguing non-conference slate, hosting Washington State and Tulane after the opener against Nicholls. Both games provide quality tests before Big 12 play begins with a road trip to Cincinnati. Following an early bye week, the Wildcats face a demanding October featuring Houston, the annual Sunflower Showdown against Kansas, and consecutive road games at Arizona State and Colorado. The October 17 rivalry game against Kansas remains one of the Big 12's premier annual matchups and should once again attract a national television audience.
November could determine Kansas State's conference title hopes. The Wildcats host Oklahoma State and Arizona while traveling to TCU and Iowa State, two of the league's toughest road environments. The regular-season finale in Ames has the potential to carry major Big 12 Championship Game implications, while the challenging late-season stretch should reveal whether Kansas State can return to the top of the conference in Collin Klein's first year as head coach.
