Utah football is 99 days away from opening Year 1 of the Morgan Scalley era.
And now the Utes know when some of those early 2026 contests will begin.
The Big 12 and its television partners have announced the opening broadcast schedule for 2026, providing kickoff times and television designations for four Utah games:
- Sept. 3 vs. Idaho — 7 p.m. MDT on ESPNU
- Sept. 12 vs. Arkansas — 8:15 p.m. MDT on ESPN
- Sept. 19 vs. Utah State — 1:30 p.m. MDT on Fox
- Nov. 27 vs. West Virginia — 7 p.m. MDT on Fox
The remainder of Utah’s scheduled matchups will receive kickoff times and TV assignments at a later date.
The Big 12 is entering the second year of a six-year, $2.28 billion media rights deal with ESPN, Fox Sports and TNT Sports.
