The aztec football team running

Football is Back!

Are you ready for some football? The Aztecs will play in 2020 with the Mountain West Conference announcing an eight-game regular-season football schedule that begins Oct. 24. The Mountain West Championship is slated for Dec. 19.

The Aztecs will take the field against UNLV on Oct. 24 to begin the season.

SDSU is looking for its 22nd conference title and an 11th consecutive bowl game. It is coming off of a 10-3 season and a bowl game victory over Central Michigan in the New Mexico Bowl.

The complete 2020 MW schedule and viewing options are available on goaztecs.com.

The Aztecs will play at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson because work has begun to demolish SDCCU Stadium to make way for the new Aztec Stadium, which is part of the SDSU Mission Valley project. Follow the progress on Instagram or at aztecstadium.com.
