Boise State Uniform Schedule 2026: Every Jersey and When the Broncos Wear It

Boise State wears blue at home and white on the road, and the blue at home is the whole point: a blue jersey over blue pants on a blue field is the most recognizable look in college football. This is the full Boise State 2026 uniform schedule, with both games so far confirmed. The Broncos wore a blue helmet, white jersey and blue pants at Oregon on September 5, then debuted the hand-painted 40th anniversary helmet with blue jerseys and blue pants against Memphis on September 12. Below is every date of the first Pac-12 season, including the bye and the flex game that closes the regular season. We update this page as each combination is confirmed.

The Boise State 2026 Uniform Sets

The base sets come from Nike and date to the refresh Boise State previewed in the EA Sports College Football 25 teaser in 2024. What makes this closet interesting is not the jerseys, which rarely change, but everything around them. Last season the Broncos rotated through blue, white, orange and dark chrome helmets, a hand-painted Idaho helmet by artist Armando Villarreal, and pants in four colors. This year Villarreal came back for the 40th anniversary Blue Turf helmet: seven hashmarks across the crown for the seven installations of The Blue, a 40 on the right side in the original 1986 turf numerals, the historic Idaho bronco on the left, "The Blue" on the front bumper and "EST. 1986" on the back. The grid below uses blue at home and white on the road as the default, and stars a cell only when we have seen it.

The Full Boise State 2026 Uniform Schedule, Week by Week

September 5 at Oregon. ★ Confirmed from the broadcast: blue helmet, white jersey, blue pants. Oregon won 34-27 at Autzen Stadium. White over blue pants is the Broncos' standard road look, and against the Ducks in yellow helmets, green jerseys and yellow pants it made for one of the loudest color matchups of opening weekend. The Oregon side of the day is on our Oregon 2026 uniform schedule.

September 12 vs. Memphis. ★ Confirmed: the 40th anniversary helmet, blue jersey, blue pants. Boise State won 38-20 in the home opener at Albertsons Stadium. The program announced the hand-painted helmet for this game, and a frame from the game shows it on the field: the Idaho bronco on the left side, the 40 on the right, "EST. 1986" across the back bumper. The same night debuted the seventh version of The Blue, with orange sideline hashes at the 2 and 11-yard lines for Ashton Jeanty and Kellen Moore. Memphis came in white jerseys with gray helmets and gray pants.

September 19 vs. South Dakota. Blue expected, the home default. Kickoff is 8 p.m. Mountain. The school has asked fans to wear white for this one, which is a crowd call rather than a team announcement, but it is worth watching whether the Broncos follow the stands.

September 26 at Western Michigan. White expected as the visitor. A Broncos-versus-Broncos game in Kalamazoo, with Western Michigan in brown and gold at Waldo Stadium.

October 3 vs. Utah State. Blue expected. The Pac-12 home opener, with fans asked to stripe the stadium in blue and orange.

October 10 at Fresno State. White expected. A late kickoff in Fresno and the last game before the only bye.

October 17. Bye.

October 24 at Washington State. White expected, against Washington State's crimson at Martin Stadium in Pullman.

October 31 vs. Texas State. Blue expected. Halloween night, and the school's fan call for this game is black. Boise State has worn black pants before, so this is the home date we are watching most closely for an alternate.

November 7 at Colorado State. White expected, against the Rams in green at Canvas Stadium. Colorado State's view of the game is on our Colorado State 2026 uniform schedule.

November 14 vs. Oregon State. Blue expected, with a blue fan scheme to match.

November 21 vs. San Diego State. Blue expected. The final home game and the end of Pac-12 conference play.

November 28, flex game. White expected. The regular season ends on the road against a Pac-12 opponent, Colorado State, Fresno State, Utah State or Washington State, set by the conference no later than six days before kickoff. The game counts as nonconference. The Pac-12 Championship follows on December 4.

The Bottom Line

Two games in, Boise State has done exactly what its closet predicts, white at Oregon and blue at home, with one big exception on top: the 40th anniversary helmet, which turned an ordinary blue-over-blue home opener into the most detailed helmet the program has worn. From here the road dates are locked into white and the home dates are blue by default, so the questions are Texas State on Halloween with a black fan call, and whether the orange pants or orange helmet from last season make a return. The grid above has every date, and we add a star as each uniform is confirmed.
