The No. 22 Arizona Wildcats are scheduled to host the No. 2 Utah Utes at Casino Del Sol Stadium in Tucson this Saturday. The matchup will be televised on FOX with kickoff scheduled for 5:30 p.m. MST.

FOX Big Noon Kickoff is scheduled to take place on the UA Mall on Saturday morning from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. MST. The program will be hosted by Rob Stone and includes analysts Matt Leinart, Mark Ingram II, Brady Quinn, and Urban Meyer, with a return appearance by Rob Gronkowski.

Saturday's game will also be broadcast live on Wildcats Radio 1290 AM and KHYT 107.5 FM. The radio broadcast will feature play-by-play from Brian Jeffries, accompanied by analyst Lamont Lovett and reporter Mackenzie Hamilton.

Arizona enters the matchup with a 7-2 record and 4-2 in the Big 12, following a 29-28 victory over TCU. The Wildcats have won seven consecutive home games dating back to Nov. 8, 2025. Quarterback Noah Fifita, who holds the program records for career passing yards (11,977) and passing touchdowns (94), leads the offense.

Utah arrives in Tucson with a 9-0 record and a 6-0 mark in the Big 12. The two teams have met 47 times since 1924, with the Utes holding a 26-21-2 edge in the all-time series. Arizona has won the previous two meetings between the programs.

The venue, Casino Del Sol Stadium, is the result of a 20-year naming rights agreement between the University of Arizona and Casino Del Sol, an enterprise of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. The agreement, valued at more than $60 million, is the largest such agreement in Big 12 Conference history.

Following their win over TCU, the Wildcats moved to No. 22 in the AP Top 25. Arizona's next scheduled game is against Kansas State on Nov. 21, 2026.
