College Football Map 2026: Teams by Conference & State

With more than 130 colleges fielding teams across the NCAA, one of the best ways to see them all at once is on a college football map. We built an interactive map showing where every college football team in the U.S. plays, color-coded by the conference each team belongs to — and we’ve updated it for the 2026 season to reflect the latest wave of conference realignment.

Interactive College Football Team and Stadium Map

This map shows all 138 of the colleges in the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for the 2026 season — up from 134 two years ago, with North Dakota State and Sacramento State among the programs that have moved up from the FCS. In the map, we use color coding to designate the conference each school belongs to. Below is the list of conferences and the color-coding scheme the map uses.

What Changed for 2026: Conference Realignment

The biggest change on the 2026 college football map is the rebuilt Pac-12. After the conference nearly dissolved in the 2024 realignment — when ten of its twelve schools departed for the Big Ten, Big 12, and ACC — it has reloaded around its two holdovers, Oregon State and Washington State. Joining them for 2026 are five former Mountain West programs — Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Utah State — plus Texas State from Conference USA, giving the new-look Pac-12 eight football-playing members.

The shake-up rippled across the Group of Five as well. The Mountain West backfilled its ranks by adding UTEP from Conference USA and Northern Illinois from the MAC, while two perennial FCS powers — North Dakota State and Sacramento State — stepped up to the FBS. The conference colors on the college football map above reflect each team’s 2026 home.
