LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The New Mexico State football team and the University of Hawaii have signed a home-and-home series for the 2020 and 2021 seasons Director of Athletics Mario Moccia announced.
 
"Having home-and-home games with Hawaii is another great addition to our future schedules," Aggie head coach Doug Martin said. "Any time we can play a Mountain West team where there is history that our fan base can relate to and be excited about is great for our community."
 
The first meeting in nine seasons between the Aggies and Rainbow Warriors is scheduled for Sept. 5, 2020, at Aloha Stadium. UH then makes the return trip to Aggie Memorial Stadium in 2021 for a Sept. 25 showdown.
