Sources: UH to become full member of Mountain West in 2026
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – There is a major shakeup for University of Hawaii Athletics, as sources confirm to Hawaii News Now that UH will become a full member of the Mountain West in 2026.
Right now, only UH football competes in the Mountain West; all other teams are in the Big West.
By getting Hawaii as a full member, the Mountain West’s rebuild is nearly complete.
In 2026, the Mountain West adds UTEP from Conference USA.
Even with Hawaii, the Mountain West still needs at least one football-only member to get to nine football members so that the conference may have eight league games.
UH plans to give more details in the near future.
