LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – UNLV will continue facing traditional rivals UNR and Hawai'i during all three years of the new Mountain West football schedule rotation that will be in place for the 2023-25 seasons, the league announced Thursday.
 
In May, the MW announced the elimination of football divisions beginning with the 2023 season. This new schedule rotation, which allows MW institutions to play each other more often, enhances the opportunity of matching the two best teams in the MW Football Championship Game each December.
 
The new model is based on a 2-6 structure where each team will play two guaranteed opponents annually and face six other conference teams each season. During the three-year cycle, all teams will face nine of 11 opponents at least twice, once at home and once on the road, and two opponents in each of the three years.
 
The rotation was created based on work of a subcommittee of MW athletics directors and was formally approved by the entire group of athletics directors.
 
The top two teams with the highest conference winning percentage will compete in the MW Football Championship Game on the first Saturday of December.
 
UNLV opens its 2022 season by hosting Idaho State on August 27 at Allegiant Stadium. Season tickets and three-game mini-plans for the six-game home schedule are available now by visiting unlvtickets.com or calling (702) 739-FANS (3267).
