Factoring in the latest BYU announcements and the Big 12 release of 4 years of conference opponents, this is what the BYU schedule looks like over the next 4 years:

2024
8/31 - Southern Illinois
9/14 - @ Wyoming
TBA - Arizona
TBA - @ Arizona State
TBA - @ Baylor
TBA - Houston
TBA - Kansas
TBA - Kansas State
TBA - Oklahoma State
TBA - @ SMU
TBA - @ UCF
TBA - @ Utah

2024 appears to be set.

2025
9/6 - Southern Utah
9/20 - @ East Carolina
TBA - @ Arizona
TBA - @ Cincinnati
TBA - @ Colorado
TBA - @ Iowa State
TBA - TCU
TBA - @ Texas Tech
TBA - UCF
TBA - Utah
TBA - West Virginia

With only 11 games, BYU needs 1 more home game. Perhaps a H/H in 2025 and 2026 is coming? OOC games are FCS Southern Utah and @ East Carolina. A P5 opponent would be nice here.

2026
9/5 - Utah Tech
10/17 - USF
TBA - Arizona
TBA - Arizona State
TBA - Baylor
TBA - Cincinnati
TBA - Iowa State
TBA - @ Kansas
TBA - @ TCU
TBA - @ UCF
TBA - @ Utah

This season is interesting. As it stands, there are 7 home games on the schedule. 11 games are announced so they need 1 more road game. OOC games are FCS Utah Tech and USF. Another P5 road game would be ideal.

2027
9/4 - Weber State
TBA - @ Arizona State
TBA - Colorado
TBA - @ Houston
TBA - Kansas
TBA - @ Kansas State
TBA - @ Oklahoma State
TBA - SMU
TBA - Texas Tech
TBA - Utah
TBA - @ West Virginia

BYU needs to add 1 more road game. OOC games are FCS Weber State and SMU. Again, a P5 opponent would be ideal.

Here are a few ideas for filling those openings:
Utah State - They have openings in their schedule in 2026 and 2027. They already play @ Oregon in 2027 so may be a good candidate for a 2026 game in Logan and a return game after 2027.
Boise State - They have OOC openings in 2027 so may be a good candidate for a 2027 game in Boise with a return game after 2027.

There are also a few Covid-cancelled games that could still be rescheduled if not already cancelled. I'll have to review P5 teams who have matching openings later this weekend if I find the time.

Nice. Also we could always do a pay game to get a 7th home game.
