ULM set to open 2026 season at Mississippi State

ULM's Sept. 5, 2026 opener at Mississippi State has confirmed kickoff and broadcast information. A new preview says Aidan Armenta returns, 43 newcomers are on the roster, the running back room is being rebuilt, and both coordinator positions changed; offensive-line and defensive-front depth are key uncertainties. Opponent results provide only limited early schedule context, with Southeastern Louisiana losing to Houston Christian and ULM's listed opponents at 0-1 combined.
