Utah football announces broadcast schedule for upcoming 2026 season games

Summary

The University of Utah kicks off its 2026 football season this week with a Thursday home game against Idaho at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The matchup is scheduled for 7 p.m. MDT and will be broadcast on ESPNU. While the full 12-game schedule is set, specific times and channels for eight contests remain pending as the Big 12 conference typically confirms broadcast windows one to two weeks before kickoff. Confirmed future broadcasts include the September 12 game against Arkansas on ESPN, the September 19 rivalry game against Utah State on Fox, and the November 27 finale against West Virginia, also on Fox. Fans can access games through standard cable providers or live streaming services like YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, DIRECTV Stream, and FuboTV. No games are currently slated for the ESPN+ streaming-only platform.
