Colorado State is moving to the Pac-12 next year, but its rivalry with Wyoming on the gridiron is going to continue.
The Rams on Tuesday announced that the two teams have added a pair of games to their long-running Border War series. They’ll face off on Sept. 5, 2026, at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins and again in 2036 in Laramie, Wyoming.
“Having one of the oldest rivalries in the West that features one of the most iconic trophies in college football continue consecutively is outstanding,” CSU Director of Athletics John Weber said in a news release. “The Boot Run with the game ball, the Border Ceremony and the Bronze Boot Trophy all honor the values and rich ROTC history of both universities and will remain integral to this rivalry for years to come.
“This game is important to our universities, communities and fans, and I am thrilled that we were able to continue it in 2026.”

Entering the 2025 season, the two teams have played each other 116 times since 1899, with CSU leading the series 60-51-5. The two teams will meet at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 25 in Laramie, marking the 80th consecutive season they will have faced off.
The Rams snapped their three-game losing streak in the series last year, beating the Cowboys 24-10 in Fort Collins.
The series takes a hiatus in 2027 with both teams having full non-conference schedules, “but scheduling adjustments are being worked on,” according to the news release. The series will resume in 2028 and continue through 2036.
