Boise State football is still months away from the 2026 season, but the team held its first spring practice scrimmage this week as the team enters the second half of spring workouts. Coaches are starting to evaluate the Broncos' roster and see what the team will look like on the field this fall.

Why it matters

Spring practices and scrimmages are crucial for college football teams to assess their personnel, test new schemes and plays, and identify strengths and weaknesses before the start of the regular season. As one of the top programs in the Mountain West Conference, Boise State's spring scrimmage provides an early glimpse of what fans can expect from the Broncos in the upcoming year.

The details

The Broncos held their first full-team scrimmage of the spring practice session this week, giving coaches their first extended look at the 2026 squad in a game-like setting. The scrimmage allowed the coaching staff to evaluate player development, test new offensive and defensive packages, and identify areas that need more work before fall camp begins.

• Boise State's spring practice session is currently underway.
• The team held its first full scrimmage this week, about halfway through the spring practice schedule.
• The 2026 Boise State football season is still almost 5 months away, with the first game scheduled for early September.

What’s next

Boise State will continue spring practice over the next several weeks, leading up to the team's annual spring game in late April. Coaches will use the remaining practices to further evaluate the roster and make adjustments before fall camp opens in August.
