The 2026 San Jose State Spartans football team, representing San Jose State University in the Mountain West Conference, is led by head coach Ken Niumatalolo in his third year, alongside coordinators Craig Stutzmann and Bojay Filimoeatu. On February 25, 2026, the team announced a 13-game regular-season schedule, the most of any FBS team that year, made possible by an NCAA exemption that allows teams playing in Hawaii to add an extra game to offset travel costs. This marks their first 13-game regular season since 2017, with home games played at CEFCU Stadium in San Jose. The demanding slate includes a season opener at No. 14T USC, a road trip to Hawaii for the Dick Tomey Legacy Game, and a rivalry clash with Fresno State in the Battle for the Valley. Additionally, the Spartans will host notable opponents like North Dakota State and UNLV, rounding out a challenging and exciting campaign.
