New Mexico State's 2026 season
The season finishes away at Middle Tennessee on Nov 28. The tightest turnaround is 2 games in seven days, from Sep 26 to Oct 1.
The non-conference games are against Florida State on Aug 29, Mercyhurst on Sep 5, Hawai'i on Sep 12, New Mexico on Sep 26. Those opponents are not in the Conference USA, so they do not appear as rows on the conference grid — a cell naming one carries a dotted underline there to say so. They are part of this team's season all the same, which is why they are on the grid at all rather than left as blank weeks.
Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. A Saturday-evening game in the United States is the small hours of Sunday morning across Europe, and a game that crosses midnight carries a +1 so it cannot be mistaken for the same evening. To see how New Mexico State's season compares with the rest of the conference — who has the harder stretch, and whose non-conference run is heaviest — the full Conference USA grid puts all 10 teams side by side.
