BYU experienced a 39-31 double overtime loss to UCF on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, at the Bounce House in Orlando. The inconsistent performance from both sides of the ball resulted in a defeat that followed a victory over Notre Dame the previous week.
UCF quarterback Keyone Jenkins recorded a career game, throwing for 463 yards and 39 points against the Cougars. The Golden Knights' team speed was cited as a significant advantage throughout the contest. BYU's defense, which had been dominant through the first six weeks of the season, struggled to finish plays, and Evan Johnson may miss significant time due to an ankle injury.
The game featured several notable individual performances and incidents. BYU wide receiver Kyler Kasper caught six passes for 129 yards and a touchdown. In a separate exhibition game at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, BYU men's basketball players Robert Wright III, Collin Chandler, and Bruce Branch III participated in a match against UNLV.
The BYU women's volleyball team moved to a 17-1 season after a 3-1 win against Arizona State. The match took place at Smith Fieldhouse, featuring players KJ and Zoey Burgess. Additionally, the state volleyball tournament is scheduled to be held at Utah Valley's UCCU Center.
BYU's upcoming schedule includes a home game against Arizona State followed by a matchup against Utah in Salt Lake City. The regular season will conclude with a game against Cincinnati.
