LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The Mountain West Conference is moving their headquarters to Las Vegas, officials tell FOX5.
The Mountain West says they are moving to the valley around early 2026. This is about the time their lease ends in Colorado Springs.
The conference told FOX5 over the phone that the move is to make the office more accessible and keep the Mountain West together.
Seven Mountain West schools agreed to remain in the league.
The move comes after the Pac-12, which was reduced to just two teams after last summer’s realignment, that four Mountain West teams would join the league in 2026, including Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Colorado State.
Utah State also agreed to join.
The seven remaining Mountain West schools signed a memorandum of understanding to stay in the league. They include Air Force, Nevada, New Mexico, San Jose State, UNLV, Wyoming and Hawaii.
