Overview
- Oregon announced Friday that Sacramento State will visit Autzen Stadium on Sept. 9, 2028 to replace a canceled Baylor date and complete the Ducks' 2028 nonconference sequence.
- The 2028 home stretch at Autzen will open with North Dakota State, continue Sept. 9 with Sacramento State, and conclude Sept. 16 with Oregon State under a new four-game, two-home-each series.
- Sacramento State joined the Mid-American Conference as a football-only FBS member on July 1, 2026, so the matchup is framed as an early measure of how the Hornets fare after leaving the FCS.
- Oregon has now reported its nonconference slate through 2029 and has select games scheduled into the early 2030s with no game listed for 2030, reflecting schedule reshuffling tied to realignment.
- The addition highlights two trends in college football scheduling: rising FCS programs accepting FBS tests and Power Five teams rebuilding long-range calendars after cancellations and conference moves.
