Sacramento State, traditionally a Cal FCS foe, will be moving into the MAC in 2026 as they take a bold step up into the FBS. This will be Cal\u2019s first full FBS schedule without an FCS team since 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Cal\u2019s 2027 non-conference schedule is now set. In between the two matchups, the California Golden Bears will head on the road to take on the UCLA Bruins.  <\/p>\n<p>The ACC schedule will expand from eight to nine games next season. There were previously announced ACC future schedules, but they will likely be rearranged in the coming years, so don\u2019t expect a full announcement of next year\u2019s schedule until later in the year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cal football filled the remaining openings in its schedule with two mid-majors.
