Meta: San Diego State’s 2025 football schedule sets the tone for its Mountain West farewell. See key matchups, dates, and more.
As San Diego State prepares for its final season in the Mountain West Conference before transitioning to the Pac-12 in 2026, their 2025 football schedule gives some hints on what we can expect from the Aztecs this season. San Diego’s 12-game slate features four non-conference foes and eight conference matchups, with two bye weeks to recharge.
With head coach Sean Lewis aiming to rebound from a 3-9 campaign in 2024, the schedule sets the stage for significant battles at Snapdragon Stadium and tough road tests, which the Aztecs need to prevail in order to mend their reputation and win back fan trust.
2025 San Diego State Football Schedule
The Aztecs’ 2025 schedule, their last in the Mountain West, balances home and away games evenly, with four non-conference contests in the first five weeks and two bye weeks to strategize for a demanding second half. Here’s the full 2025 San Diego State Football Schedule:
- Thu, Aug 28 vs. Stony Brook
- Sat, Sep 6 at Washington State
- Sat, Sep 20 vs. California
- Sat, Sep 27 at Northern Illinois
- Sat, Oct 4 vs. Colorado State
- Sat, Oct 11 at Nevada
- Sat, Oct 25 at Fresno State
- Sat, Nov 1 vs. Wyoming
- Sat, Nov 8 at Hawai’i
- Sat, Nov 15 vs. Boise State
- Sat, Nov 22 vs. San José State
- Sat, Nov 29 at New Mexico
The Aztecs kick off with Stony Brook, an FCS foe, before facing Washington State’s highly praised offense and Cal’s balanced attack, led by RB Jaydn Ott, in non-conference play. After that they will face Northern Illinois, whose defense will be a test for SDSU’s new QB.
In the Mountain West part of the schedule, Boise State’s Heisman-finalist RB Ashton Jeanty will pose the toughest challenge for the Aztecs, while Fresno State’s passing attack and San José State’s balanced offense will squeeze the most out of San Diego’s defense.
Road games at Hawai’i and New Mexico could hinge on SDSU’s ability to shore up its 112th-ranked pass defense. Home games against Colorado State and Wyoming offer winnable opportunities if Trey White holds his position. With two bye weeks, SDSU can refine its game plan for a grueling November set of games.
In the end, San Diego State’s 2025 season is a chance to reset under Sean Lewis. A favorable early schedule and home tilts against Boise State and Cal could spark a 7-5 record, if the new QB is able to stand up to the role.
