Which Sacramento State Hornets games are worth watching in 2026?
The season opens with a genuinely historic milestone: Sacramento State's first-ever FBS game, on the road against Eastern Michigan, which also serves as the kickoff to MAC play across the conference. The September 12 trip to Fresno State, confirmed for CBS Sports Network, gives the Hornets a nationally televised early test against another West Coast program.
Due to NCAA transition rules for teams moving from FCS to FBS, Sacramento State is ineligible for postseason play in 2026, meaning every game this season is about building a foundation in the MAC rather than chasing a bowl bid. The season closes with a cross-country trip to Hawaii on November 28.
