The University of Hawai‘i football team has released its schedule for the 2025 season.

The Rainbow Warriors will begin their slate in a home game against Stanford on Aug. 23 at the Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex.

UH is permitted 13 regular season games but will play 12 for the second consecutive year.

Kickoff times and television schedules will be released at a later date. The full schedule can be seen here.

Hawai‘i went 5-7 in head coach Timmy Chang's third season at the helm. The 'Bows would need at least six wins in the regular season to play in a bowl game, something they haven't done since 2020.

An eight-game Mountain West Conference schedule for UH pits the Rainbow Warriors against four teams in Fresno State, Utah State, Colorado State and San Diego State that are departing for the Pac-12 Conference following the season. Boise State is the fifth team in the Mountain West leaving for the Pac-12, while UTEP of Conference USA and Northern Illinois of the MAC will join in time to give the Mountain West nine football-playing teams in 2026.

The Mountain West championship game is set for Dec. 5, which will feature the two teams with the highest conference winning percentage. Hawai‘i, a Mountain West football-only member since 2012, has played in the conference championship game once, losing to Boise State in 2019.

Starting in the summer of 2026, Hawai‘i will become a full-time member of the Mountain West, departing the Big West Conference.
