Fresno State hosts Cal State Fullerton on Saturday for its final exhibition before the 2026-27 season. The free game offers a first look at a retooled Bulldogs roster as the program prepares for its first season in the Pac-12.

By the Numbers
  • Saturday, Oct. 24, at 2 p.m. PT
  • Fresno State went 19-35 in Vance Walberg’s first two seasons.
  • The Bulldogs return 0% of their production in every statistical category.
  • Fresno State went undefeated during its seven-day Summer of Thunder trip to the Bahamas.
Yes, But

The exhibition is a chance to assess a team with an entirely rebuilt statistical foundation. Fresno State has added Division I transfers and freshmen, but the group still has to build chemistry and adjust to a new conference.

State of Play
  • Fresno State opens its inaugural Pac-12 season in 2026-27.
  • The Bulldogs’ new roster blends experienced transfers with incoming freshmen, including players from several countries.
  • Fans can attend for free; the game will also stream live on YouTube.
What's Next

Saturday’s exhibition is Fresno State’s final tune-up before the regular season. The game will offer an early test of how quickly the new roster is coming together ahead of its Pac-12 debut.

Bottom Line

The Bulldogs are starting over in practical terms: a new conference, a largely new roster and a final preseason opportunity to find cohesion before the games count.
