Eight teams, five states and a conference that did not exist in this shape two years ago. Oregon State and Washington State spent two seasons as a league of two; now they have six new partners, a seven-game round robin where everybody plays everybody, and a November finale nobody has been assigned yet. Here is the whole Pac-12 season, week by week.

Times are Pacific. Conference games are in bold. Blank times are still TBA.
A true round robin
Twenty-eight conference games, eight teams, seven opponents each, every pairing played exactly once. That is the whole league schedule with nothing left over — no divisions, no unbalanced draw, no team that misses another. In a sport where the Big Ten needs eighteen teams to play nine games and still leaves most matchups unplayed, the arithmetic here is unusually clean.
September is the opposite: five straight weekends of non-conference football, thirty-two games, not one of them counting in the standings. The league sells that month to everyone else — Texas, Oregon, Washington, UCLA, Houston, Kansas State, Texas Tech, Memphis, Arizona, BYU — and then closes the door on October 3 and plays itself the rest of the way.

All eight open on the road show or at home against it, and two of the sport’s oldest rivalries land in the first weekend. Washington State goes to Seattle for the Apple Cup on a Sunday night, and Wyoming visits Fort Collins for the Bronze Boot. Boise State at Oregon is the measuring stick.

Utah State goes to Salt Lake City for the Battle of the Brothers and Fresno State to San Jose for the Valley Trophy, the two in-state games the league kept through realignment. Colorado State hosts BYU; the rest is FCS opposition before the conference season.

Week 5 — October 3
| Matchup | Date | Time | Location | TV |

| Texas State at San Diego State | Sat Oct 3 | 19:30 | San Diego, CA | The CW |
Conference play opens with all eight teams in action and four games, the cleanest possible start: nobody idle, nobody playing an outsider.
Week 6 — October 9 and 10
Byes: Colorado State, Texas State
Washington State opens the weekend in Logan on Friday night. Boise State at Fresno State is the Milk Can, the newest league game with the oldest grudge behind it.
Week 7 — October 15 and 17
Byes: Boise State, Utah State
A Thursday night in San Marcos opens the week — Colorado State’s longest conference trip, and a reminder that this league now reaches central Texas.
Week 8 — October 24
Byes: Fresno State, Oregon State
Three games, two byes, the lightest week of the conference season.
Week 9 — October 31
Four games, no byes, and the last Saturday before the clocks change. Everything after this kicks in Pacific Standard Time.
Week 10 — November 7
Byes: San Diego State, Washington State
Week 11 — November 14
Four games, no byes. Oregon State at Boise State is the one to circle.
Week 12 — November 21
The round robin closes here. Every team has now played all seven league opponents once, and the standings are settled before the final weekend is even assigned.
Week 13 — November 28
The whole weekend is flex. Four teams are set to travel — San Diego State, Texas State, Boise State and Oregon State — and four are set to host, at Fort Collins, Fresno, Pullman and Logan. Which visitor goes where has not been announced, and neither have kickoff times or TV. The conference schedule is already complete by this point, so these are matchups the league can place once the season tells it what is worth watching.
