The San Diego State football team huddles around then-senior linebacker Kyahva Tezino as he gives a pregame speech. The game resulted in a 48-11 win over Central Michigan on Dec. 21, 2019 at the New Mexico Bowl in Albuquerque.

In conjunction with the Mountain West Conference, San Diego State football released an updated 2020 season schedule via a press release on Oct. 1.

Last Thursday, the conference announced the season will start on Oct. 24. That’s when the Aztecs are set to host UNLV in SDSU’s season opener, which will be played at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif.

Every SDSU home game will be played in Carson this season.

The Aztecs are scheduled to follow up their home opener with a Halloween clash against Utah State on the road. After that matchup, the Aztecs will host San José State and Hawai’i at Dignity Health on Nov. 7 and Nov. 14, respectively.
