San Diego – The San Diego State Aztecs have officially announced that their season opener will take place against the Stony Brook Seawolves on August 28, 2025. The game is set to kick off at 7 p.m. PT at Snapdragon Stadium, marking the home opener for the Aztecs as they commence their football season.
The game will be broadcast locally on KUSI and will also be available for streaming on the Mountain West Network. Fans can look forward to coverage led by play-by-play announcer Steve Quis and analyst J.R. Tolver, a former SDSU wide receiver.
This upcoming season is particularly significant as it marks the second year under head coach Sean Lewis. The Aztecs aim to build on their previous performance and make strides in the Mountain West Conference. To celebrate the occasion, fans attending the game will receive free mystery bags of past promotional items as a thank-you for their support.
In addition to announcing the game details, the Aztecs have confirmed broadcast arrangements for 10 out of 12 regular season games. The contests scheduled for September 27 at Northern Illinois and November 8 at Hawaii are still pending arrangements, with start times for three additional games yet to be finalized.
Before the season begins, fans are encouraged to attend the annual Fan Fest, which will be held on August 14, 2025, at Snapdragon Stadium. Entry is free for fans who secure a ticket in advance online, with a limit of four tickets per person. Parking for the event will be available for $10, which can also be purchased online, and the parking facilities will open at 5 p.m. PT. Entry gates for Fan Fest will open at 6 p.m., leading into a much-anticipated scrimmage that starts at 7 p.m.
The Aztecs are gearing up for the upcoming season with a solid defensive lineup, as they return nearly their entire starting defense, which is led by Trey White, who has been named the preseason Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year. Last season, White excelled with 12.5 sacks, placing him among the leaders in the nation for that statistic.
On the offensive side, the roster features a blend of new players, with only two returning starters on the offensive line. Offensive tackle Joe Borjon is currently recovering from an ankle injury but has participated in practice activities without a boot. In terms of player movement, freshman offensive lineman Jett Thomas has decided to leave the team, attributing his departure to a loss of desire to play football. Moreover, injury reports indicate Borjon’s ankle issues as well as a cast on freshman tight end Jacob Alvarez’s right arm.
Throughout the season, the Aztecs will play a total of 11 out of 12 regular-season games on television, ensuring fans have ample opportunities to follow their team. As they prepare to take the field, anticipation builds for an exciting year ahead for San Diego State football.
