Since its founding in 1999, the Mountain West has remained steadfast in its commitment to excellence in intercollegiate athletics while advancing the academic missions of its member institutions. Central to that mission is the holistic development of our student-athletes—championing their success not only in competition but also in the classroom and in their personal growth. Beginning with the 2026–27 season, the Mountain West will feature a comprehensive membership model that brings together full-time, all-sport institutions alongside select sport-specific members. The Conference’s all-sport members—United States Air Force Academy; University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa; University of Nevada, Reno; University of Nevada, Las Vegas; University of New Mexico; San José State University; University of Texas at El Paso, and University of Wyoming, will compete across the full Mountain West portfolio, including football. University of California, Davis, and Grand Canyon University will join as all-sport members outside of football, while Colorado College (women’s soccer), North Dakota State University (football), Northern Illinois University (football and women’s gymnastics), and Utah Tech University (baseball and men’s soccer) will compete as affiliate members in designated sports.
