Oregon State Uniform Schedule 2026: Every Jersey and When the Beavers Wear It

Oregon State spent two years as a football independent and comes back into a conference in 2026, and the uniforms came along for the ride. This is the full Oregon State 2026 uniform schedule: the black home set, the all white road look, the orange jersey that finally came out for an all orange look against San Diego State, the white helmet the Beavers wore through September, the orange helmet that debuted in the Pac-12 opener at Colorado State, and a week by week outlook for all twelve games in JaMarcus Shephard's first season. We update this page as each combination is confirmed.

The Oregon State 2026 Uniform Sets

Everything in that grid dates to July 2024, when Nike and Oregon State tore up the 2019 look and rebuilt it around the BEAVS chest wordmark, jerseys and pants in black, white, orange and graphite, and helmets in black, white and orange. It was the program's first redesign in five years, and it arrived at the worst possible moment for exposure, in the middle of the two seasons Oregon State spent without a conference.

The Beavers have been quieter than most about their weekly combinations. There is no uniform reveal graphic on a set day of the week the way Michigan State or Washington State run it, though the program has put out a proper reveal for a season opener before, so the closet gets shown off when there is a reason to show it off.

That leaves the broadcast as the source of truth, and through September the pattern was easy to read: the white helmet in every game we saw, white jersey and pants on the road at Houston, black jersey and pants at home against Texas Tech, and white over black pants at UTEP. The orange helmet broke it at Colorado State on October 3. Pac-12 home teams wear color and visitors wear white, which locks in every road date and turns every home date into a question of black, orange or something new.

The Full Oregon State 2026 Uniform Schedule, Week by Week

September 5 at Houston. ★ Confirmed from the broadcast: white helmet, white jersey, white pants, head to toe white for a 9 a.m. Pacific kickoff at TDECU Stadium. The orange and black center stripe on the white shell and the orange trim on the sleeves are the only color on the field. Houston won 33-20 in red jerseys and white pants, and our Houston 2026 uniform schedule has the Cougars' side of it.

September 12 vs. Texas Tech. ★ Confirmed from the broadcast: white helmet, black jersey, black pants, the full home blackout under the white shell with the orange script on the side. Texas Tech visited in white helmets and white jerseys, so the contrast was total. The Red Raiders won 35-24. Worth flagging: our Texas Tech 2026 uniform schedule currently describes the Beavers as black over white, and the frames show black pants, not white.

September 19 vs. Montana. Black expected, and still unconfirmed. Oregon State won 52-17, but the USA Network broadcast produced no ESPN frames and no Oregon State game photography had surfaced when we checked, so we have not seen the Beavers and the cell stays unstarred. An 8 p.m. Pacific kickoff at Reser Stadium against the FCS Grizzlies, the game Oregon State added to this schedule back in April 2025 when the independent years were still being patched over.

September 26 at UTEP. ★ Confirmed from the game photos: white helmet, white jersey, black pants at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, the last of the four non-conference games the new Pac-12 front-loaded onto everybody's schedule. UTEP wore navy over white. Braden Atkinson threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Jesse Legree, AJ Newberry ran for 111 yards, and Oregon State won 33-7 to get to 2-2.

October 3 at Colorado State, Canvas Stadium, 3 p.m. Pacific (6 p.m. ET) on USA Network. ★ Confirmed by Oregon State: orange helmet, white jersey, orange pants. It is the first time this season the Beavers have moved off the white shell: the orange helmet carries the black Beaver logo, and the orange pants under the white road jersey make this the most colorful road look Oregon State has put out in 2026. Oregon State's own game photos show it exactly as posted: orange helmet, white jersey, orange pants. Colorado State wore green jerseys and white pants for Homecoming. Braden Atkinson went 31 of 34 for 427 yards and five touchdowns, three of them to Jesse Legree, and Oregon State won the Pac-12 opener 56-26 to move to 3-2. See the Colorado State 2026 uniform schedule for their side.

October 10 vs. San Diego State, Reser Stadium, 3 p.m. Pacific (6 p.m. ET) on USA Network. ★ Confirmed from the game photos: orange helmet, orange jersey, orange pants. Black was expected for the first conference home game, and the Beavers went all orange instead. San Diego State wore a scarlet helmet, white jersey and white pants. Oregon State led 38-7 at halftime and won 66-14 to move to 4-2. More: San Diego State uniform schedule.

October 17 vs. Washington State, Reser Stadium, 3 p.m. Pacific (6 p.m. ET) on USA Network. ★ Confirmed by Oregon State: black helmet, black jersey, black pants with orange trim, the set the Beavers' reveal graphic labels "Homecoming." Every look this week is in our Week 7 uniform guide. The first Pac-12 meeting with the Cougars. Washington State is a mix and match program, so this is the best color clash on the home slate.

October 24. Bye.

October 31 at Fresno State. White expected. Halloween night at Valley Children's Stadium, 8 p.m. Pacific.

November 7 vs. Texas State. Black expected. A 7:30 p.m. Pacific kickoff on The CW, the only Reser date this season on that network.

November 14 at Boise State. White expected. Oregon State in white on the blue turf is one of the better visuals of the year. The Boise State 2026 uniform schedule covers what the Broncos put on top of it.

November 21 vs. Utah State. Black expected. Senior Day at Reser and the last guaranteed home game, 7:30 p.m. Pacific on CBS Sports Network. If Oregon State has an alternate saved for 2026, this is the date to watch. More: Utah State uniform schedule.

November 28, flex week, on the road. White expected. The Pac-12 built its calendar around a Week 13 flex game that does not count in the conference standings and is not locked in until six days out. Oregon State is one of the four road teams that week, along with Boise State, San Diego State and Texas State, and the hosts are Colorado State, Fresno State, Utah State and Washington State. The opponent is set by the conference late in the season.

The Bottom Line

Five confirmed games, five different uniforms. Oregon State went all white at Houston, all black at home against Texas Tech and white over black pants at UTEP, all under the white shell, before the orange helmet from the 2024 Nike redesign finally came out at Colorado State, with orange pants and the white jersey, in a 56-26 win. A week later the orange jersey joined it for an all orange look in a 66-14 win over San Diego State, when black had been expected. The helmet is the least predictable part of the whole thing and the detail to keep watching. The black helmet is still sitting in the closet, and the Beavers have three home dates left plus a flex road trip to use it. The grid above has every game, and we fill in a star as each combination is confirmed.
