EUGENE - The No. 2 Oregon Ducks are starting the 2026 football season with the wind at their back after sustained success few programs in college football can match.

Oregon has become one of the most dominant programs in the country, as the only FBS team to win 13 games in each of the last two seasons. Also, the Ducks’ 38-5 record since the start of 2023 is the best in the country. Oregon is among elite company as one of four programs (Georgia, Indiana and Ohio State) to reach the College Football Playoff in each of the last two seasons.

Will the Ducks prowess continue in 2026 with starting quarterback Dante Moore electing to return for another Oregon football season? It all begins Saturday vs. the Boise State Broncos, a program that gave the Ducks an upset scare back in 2024.

Autzen Stadium is gaining a reputation as one of the most formidable for opponents to travel to, which much thanks to a ruccous fan base that knows how to turn up the volume. Each game, fans are encouraged to wear a certain color for the 2026 football schedule.

What color do Oregon fans wear on Saturday? The Ducks color schedule encourages fans to "stripe out" Autzen. Fans sitting in an odd numbered section wear green and even numbered sections wear yellow.

Below is everything Ducks fans should know ahead of Oregon’s first game of the season, including the latest Eugene weather forecast, TV information, betting odds and pregame quotes from coach Dan Lanning.

WEATHER REPORT: The forecast for Eugene does have rain this week: 98 percent chance on Wednesday, 85 percent chance on Thursday and then a 40 percent chance on Friday.

Lanning offered a challenge to Oregon Ducks fans in Autzen stadium.

“Excited! It's finally here, Game Week," Lanning said. “Spencer (Danielson) does a great job of getting these guys ready. They play with an attitude and a toughness that shows up all over film. They've got some really dynamic players that do a really good job, and it seems like it's a really cohesive unit.”

"... we expect the best. What I'm counting on are our fans to show up, pack the place, make it a special environment like I always see at Autzen Stadium. So it'll be fun to be out there on the field again with our guys and time to hit somebody else.”
