The 2026 Ohio Bobcats football team will represent Ohio University in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) during the 2026 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Bobcats will be led by John Hauser in his first year as the head coach.[1][2] The Bobcats play home games at Peden Stadium, located in Athens, Ohio.[3]
Hauser earned his first win as a head coach in the 2025 Frisco Bowl as interim coach after replacing Brian Smith[4][5] This extended the Bobcats bowl game winning streak to seven.[6] Ohio will enter the season having won 13 in a row and 23 out of their last 24 at home since the turf was christened Frank Solich Field prior to the start of the 2022 season.[7][8][9] The Bobcats are coming off of a 9 win campaign in 2025 and a program record 40 wins over the prior four seasons.[10][11]
