ESPN's College GameDay Built by The Home Depot will travel to Salt Lake City for the second consecutive week to broadcast live from the University of Utah's President's Circle. The appearance occurs ahead of a marquee Big 12 showdown between No. 10 Utah and No. 14 Houston on Saturday, Oct. 25.
The broadcast is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 25, from 9 a.m. to noon ET, while the kickoff for the game between the Houston Cougars and the Utes is set for 10:15 p.m. ET on ESPN. Buffalo Bills tight end and former Utah standout Dalton Kincaid will serve as the celebrity guest picker for the episode.
Utah head coach Morgan Scalley is expected to join the set live, while Miami head coach Mario Cristobal is scheduled to join from the field ahead of his team's matchup against Pittsburgh. Other segments include a breakdown of Kentucky's success by Nick Saban in the GameDay Film Room and an all-access feature with UCLA head coach Bob Chesney.
This visit marks the seventh time Utah has hosted the program and the third time in the last four seasons that the show has visited Salt Lake City. The show's presence in the state for two straight weeks is the first time since 2019 that the program has originated from the same state during consecutive regular-season weeks.
The broadcast follows a record-setting 2026 season for the program. A recent episode from Provo, Utah, averaged 3 million viewers, which ranks as the third most-watched episode in the history of the show.
The appearance follows a historic Week 7 in college football where five of the top seven teams in the AP Poll suffered defeats for the first time in the poll's 90-year history. During this period, Utah has maintained an unblemished record, extending its active Football Bowl Subdivision win streak to 12 games.
An ESPN College GameDay Scavenger Hunt is running in Salt Lake City through Friday, Oct. 24, at 3:30 p.m. MT. The interactive contest allows fans to participate via a digital microsite by completing challenges involving campus landmarks and trivia.
