The Rams and Cowboys to meet every year from 2028-2036
FORT COLLINS, Colo.  – College sports are built on rivalries. For Colorado State and Wyoming, that passion of the Border War rivalry will live on not just in football as previously announced, but in men's and women's basketball, volleyball and soccer. Beginning in 2028, the Rams and Cowboys will start an eight-year series in the respective sports.
"The pride, passion and excitement our institutions, teams, fans and alumni feel whenever Colorado State and Wyoming play each other is second to none. Long-standing rivalries like ours with Wyoming are a cornerstone of college athletics," CSU Director of Athletics John Weber said. "We are excited to continue the rivalry with Wyoming across all of these sports. It provides marquee matchups each year for these programs and is a win for everyone involved."
The eight-year series with Wyoming follows a similar agreement announced last year with CSU and UW for football. While the agreement does not begin until 2028, Colorado State and Wyoming are set to play each other in all five sports in 2026 as well.
The Rams host Wyoming in football (Sept. 5), soccer (Sept. 17), men's basketball (Dec. 11) and women's basketball (Nov. 13). Meanwhile, CSU volleyball travels to Laramie on Sept. 12.
CSU and Wyoming are set to play in soccer, men's and women's basketball and volleyball in 2027. The two schools are working together to continue the football series in 2027 as well following conference realignment.
