The UNLV Rebels have finalized their 2026 football schedule, highlighted by a Week Zero matchup against Memphis on Aug. 29 at Allegiant Stadium. The game time and television broadcast are yet to be announced.
This marks the first-ever meeting between two programs that have been among the most successful in the nation over the last three seasons. UNLV enters with a 30-12 record since 2023, while Memphis, a member of the American Athletic Conference, stands at 29-10.
The Rebels will also face another American Conference opponent, traveling to North Texas on Sept. 12. The remaining nonconference slate includes a road game at Akron (Sept. 26) and a home contest against California (Oct. 3).
UNLV’s Mountain West schedule features home games against UNR, Wyoming, UTEP, and Northern Illinois, with road trips to Hawaii, New Mexico, San Jose State, and Air Force. Conference game dates are expected to be released in February.
The two programs have also agreed to a future home-and-home series, with Memphis hosting the Rebels at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium on Sept. 15, 2029.
