“Big Noon Kickoff” is headed back to Provo.

BYU will host Fox’s popular college football pregame show Saturday morning outside of LaVell Edwards Stadium ahead of the Cougars’ rivalry matchup with Utah, the network announced Sunday.

This will be the second “Kickoff" in Provo, as the show visited in 2024 before BYU faced Arizona.
