UCLA football’s 2026 schedule was released Tuesday, and the Bruins have seven home games, five away games and a bye week in between their two-game away stretch.
The transfer portal officially closed Jan. 16, and 41 players have committed to UCLA football, while 24 have officially departed the program after a 3-9 season riddled with coaching departures.
Nine former Bruins took the stage during NFL Wild Card weekend, serving timely tackles, acrobatic receptions and pivotal blocks. Last week, another former Bruin experienced his first ascent to NBA Player of the Week.
Over 4,000 Division I football players have entered the transfer portal, and with the window opening Jan. 2 and closing Jan. 16, many new faces will join the Bob Chesney train in Westwood, and several will depart the Bruin program for good.

Bob Chesney wasted no time bringing familiar faces to the West Coast.
First, it was offensive coordinator Dean Kennedy, who spent two seasons with the now-UCLA head coach at Holy Cross and the past two years at James Madison, where he led the 11th-highest scoring offense in the FBS.
The newest Bruin coaching trio is complete.
UCLA is reportedly finalizing a deal to make James Madison’s Colin Hitschler the school’s next defensive coordinator, per ESPN.
