PULLMAN, Wash. (March 25, 2026) – In anticipation of the 2026 Washington State Football season, Cougar Athletics announced Wednesday the dates for 2026 Homecoming and Family Weekends.

Along with those games, additional specialty weekend dates include a Crimson Out against Duquesne, Sept. 19, where fans are encouraged to wear Crimson to the game. That weekend will also include a Movie Night at Gesa Field the Friday night before the game, as well as Future Cougar Day.

Stripe The Stadium, where fans are asked to wear Crimson and Gray, will be the theme against Arizona, Sept. 26. That weekend will also feature the Cougfest concert held of Sept. 25, the Friday night before the game. The artist for the concert will be announced at a later date. The Colorado State game on Nov. 14 will be Native American and Military Appreciation Day at Gesa Field. The final regular season game, Nov. 28, a flex game with the opponent announced a week prior to the game, will be Senior Night.
