Not bad.
The University of Hawaii will receive its largest contracted guarantee ever for a road game, $1.3 million, for a 2026 football appearance at Arizona State.
The previous high was $1.1 million for the 2015 game at Ohio State. UH’s other million-dollar paydays were at Wisconsin (2015) and Michigan (2016). UH pays its travel expenses out of the guarantee.
The Sept. 19, 2026 game will mark UH’s first trip to Tempe, Ariz., since 1958. It will be the first meeting between the two schools overall since the 2006 Hawaii Bowl.
ASU, which is not scheduled to play in Honolulu, leads the series 5-2.
In addition, UH has added a home-and-home series with New Mexico State, with the Aggies coming to Aloha Stadium in 2020 and UH going to Las Cruces, N.M., in 2021.
The Rainbow Warriors lead the series 8-0.
In other changes, the 2020 game at Arizona will be moved to Aug. 29 in Tucson. It had originally been scheduled for Sept. 5, 2020.
UH said it has also added single games versus Football Championship Subdivision teams Portland State in 2021 (Sept. 4) and Duquesne in 2022 (Sept. 20). Both games will be played in Honolulu.
