The Rams will face Hawaii on homecoming (Oct. 18) in a 5 p.m. Saturday start at Canvas Stadium, CSU athletics announced.

It's now just the third 2025 CSU home game that has a start time, as of July 10, with four more yet to be finalized. Television information has still not been set for the homecoming game.

Several other CSU games will have specific TV designations and kickoff times announced at a later date.

Three games (vs. UTSA and UNLV, at Boise State) will have the kickoff time announced by Fox 12 days out from the games. Three others (at San Diego State, vs. Fresno State and Air Force) have been moved to Fridays.

Homecoming weekend is an annual centerpiece in the CSU home slate, and an early evening kick could help facilitate more viable travel for fans and alumni from Denver and other parts of the state.
