Air Force's 2026 season
The season finishes away at New Mexico on Nov 28. The tightest turnaround is 2 games in seven days, from Oct 17 to Oct 23.
The non-conference games are against Duquesne on Sep 5, Navy on Oct 3, UConn on Oct 31, Army on Nov 7. Those opponents are not in the Mountain West, 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 Air Force's season compares with the rest of the conference — who has the harder stretch, and whose non-conference run is heaviest — the full Mountain West grid puts all 10 teams side by side.
Frequently asked questions

Air Force's next game is away at Northern Illinois on Oct 10. The list below shows every remaining game, with kick-off times in your own timezone.
How many games does Air Force play in 2026?
12 regular-season games: 7 at home at Falcon Stadium and 5 away, from Sep 5 to Nov 28. 8 are against Mountain West opponents and 4 are not. Conference championship games, bowls and the College Football Playoff are not included.
Who does Air Force play outside the Mountain West in 2026?
4 games: Duquesne on Sep 5, Navy on Oct 3, UConn on Oct 31, Army on Nov 7. Those opponents are not in the Mountain West, so they have no row of their own on the conference grid — they are marked there with a dotted underline, and named in full on this page.
What time do Air Force's games start in my timezone?
Every confirmed kick-off on this page is converted to the timezone your browser reports, with a manual override in the "Times in" control. College football is published in US Eastern time, so a Saturday-evening game there starts in the small hours of Sunday across Europe, and those carry a +1 mark.
