The Tulane Green Wave are set to face Kansas State at Bill Snyder Family Stadium on September 19, 2026. Following a successful 2025 season, where they achieved an 11-3 overall record and reached the CFP, Tulane enters 2026 with a new head coach, Will Hall, who was promoted after serving as passing game coordinator. Notable absences include quarterback Jake Retzlaff, who led the team in yards and touchdowns last season. The team will look to transfer Kadin Semonza and former Houston quarterback Zeon Chriss-Gremillion to fill the quarterback position. Tulane is projected to finish 7th in the American Conference.
