Nevada football to host Montana State in 2026
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – Nevada football will be hosting FCS school Montana State in 2026.
The non-conference game will be on Sept. 12, 2026 in Reno.
The agreement to play completes Nevada’s 2026 non-conference schedule for that year. Nevada will host Western Kentucky in their 2026 home opener on Sept. 5, then travel to Los Angeles to play UCLA on Sept. 19, then to Murfreesboro, Tennessee to play Middle Tennessee on Sept. 26.
The meeting with Montana State will be the first between the two since 1996 when Nevada won 31-7 in Reno.
For Nevada head coach Jeff Choate, it would be his first time playing against the team where he served as head coach for four seasons. He led the Bobcats to a combined record of 19-9 over his two final seasons, making consecutive appearances in the FCS playoffs with a run to the semifinals in 2019.
This season, Montana State will play North Dakota State in the FCS Championship on Jan. 6.
