Hawaii announces opponents for the 2024 season

Larkdight Studios Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors' Program Rebuild (Season 1) July 1, 2025 3:00PM CST

The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors will kick off Season 1 on July 2nd when they open the season on the road against UL-Monroe.

The Rainbow Warriors’ season has its challenges with road games against Notre Dame, Liberty, and Louisville, but they also host winnable games against San Diego State, Fresno State, and New Mexico. There is still so much unknown to this team, and most specifically HC Manti Te’o, but he has surrounded himself with a coaching staff full of winners to help turn Hawaii around. If a program like Hawaii can be turned into a national powerhouse, it’ll dramatically shift how we view College Football.

Dates and times for all games are below:

• Week 1 – Wed, Jul 2 7:00PM CST – @ UL-Monroe (Season Opener)

• Week 2 – Thu, Jul 3 3:00PM CST – @ Notre Dame

• Week 3 – Fri, Jul 4 11:00AM CST – vs Arizona State (Home Opener)

• Week 4 – Bye Week

• Week 5 – Tue, Jul 8 11:00AM CST – @ San Jose State

• Week 6 - Wed, Jul 9 7:00PM CST – vs San Diego State

• Week 7 – Thu, Jul 10 7:00PM CST – vs Boise State

• Week 8 – Fri, Jul 11 7:00PM CST – @ Liberty

• Week 9 – Bye Week

• Week 10 - Tue, Jul 15 5:00PM CST – vs Fresno State (Homecoming)

• Week 11 – Wed, Jul 16 7:00PM CST – @ UNLV

• Week 12 – Thu, Jul 17 3:00PM CST – @ Louisville

• Week 13 – Fri, Jul 18 5:00PM CST – vs BYU

• Week 14 – Mon, Jul 21 7:00PM CST – vs New Mexico State (Senior Night)

The Hawaii Rainbow Warriors are expected to go 4-8 this season, which would be a pretty disappointing first season for HC Manti Te’o but also understanding since he has yet to “his guys” in there yet. Building a program doesn’t happen overnight. Usually, it is a three-year process. Let’s see how they actually fare.
